An account of a people's response to genocide and what it tells us about humanity. It chronicles what has happened in Rwanda since 1994, when the government called on the Hutu majority to murder the Tutsi minority. Some 800,000 people were exterminated in a hundred days.

Through portraits of Rwandans in all walks of life, he focuses on the psychological and political challenges of survival.
