In The Tall Grass
Documentary (56 min.)

In the Tall Grass tells the story of Rwanda's redemption after genocide as the country sits down to reckon with the horror by using a network of grassroots, community courts called gacaca. This hour-long documentary film follows a survivor through this historic process as she confronts the man she says murdered her husband and children, giving audiences a stark and terrifying look at how the genocide of 1994 continues to shape the lives of Rwandans today. She receives some justice, and her village finally faces their pain, but she is only one story in hundreds of thousands. In the Tall Grass delivers a raw and uncompromising look at how the genocide shattered lives in Rwanda.
