Ben'imana

A moving drama about reckoning in the aftermath of the genocide in Rwanda.

Rwanda, 2012. In the years after the genocide against the Tutsis, local communities across the country continue their work for justice and reconciliation through local courts. Vénéranda, herself a survivor, leads conversations between victims and the families of perpetrators, helping others to move forward. But when she learns that her daughter has unexpectedly become pregnant, she is forced to confront the limits of her own convictions. The film was Rwanda’s first at Cannes and won the Caméra d’Or, the award for best first feature.
