Sometimes in April (2005) (TV)

Synopsis: In 1994, in Rwanda, during the civil war between Hutu and Tutsi, Augustin, a Hutu soldier, is blacklisted and his Tutsi wife's life is put at risk; his brother Honoré is a radio speaker who incites the rage against the Tutsi. Honoré agrees to drive Augustin's wife and children out of the country, but will he be able to pass the many roadblocks?

Appraisal: Honest portrayal of a tragic war with its multifaceted political nuances; it is nevertheless way too slow and long, and not as effective dramatically as I expected.

Rating: 48
