Beyond the Classroom 'Envisioning Peace' Film Series - As We Forgive
1102 South Campus Commons, Building 1
11/23/2009  07:00 PM -  09:00 PM
http://www.beyondtheclassroom.umd.edu
Could you forgive a person who murdered your family? This is the question faced by the subjects of “As We Forgive,” a documentary about Rosaria and Chantal – two Rwandan women coming face-to-face with the men who slaughtered their families during the 1994 genocide. The subjects of “As We Forgive” speak for a nation still wracked by the grief of a genocide that killed one in eight Rwandans in 1994. Overwhelmed by an enormous backlog of court cases, the government has returned over 50,000 genocide perpetrators back to the very communities they helped to destroy. Without the hope of full justice, Rwanda has turned to a new solution: Reconciliation. But can it be done? Can survivors truly forgive the killers who destroyed their families?

http://www.beyondtheclassroom.umd.edu
Late in the 20th century, in response to repeated mass atrocities around the world, more than 120 countries united to form the International Criminal Court (ICC) – the first permanent court created to prosecute perpetrators (no matter how powerful) of crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide. “The Reckoning” follows dynamic Luis Moreno Ocampo and his team for 3 years across 4 continents as he issues arrest warrants for Lord’s Resistance Army leaders in Uganda, puts Congolese warlords on trial, and charges Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir with genocide in Darfur, challenging the U.N. Security Council to arrest him. Building cases against genocidal criminals presents huge challenges, and the Prosecutor has a mandate but no police force. At every turn, he must pressure the international community to muster political will for the cause. Life a deft thriller, “The Reckoning” keeps you on the edge of your seat.
