"When The Innocence Of Childhood Faces History"

In 1993, ten-year-old Gabriel lives in Burundi, together with his French father – an entrepreneur – and his Rwandan mother and sister Ana, in a comfortable neighborhood with expats. His daily life is thoroughly disrupted when the small African country is brutally torn apart by a historical conflict. Violence is sweeping the country.

The genocide in Burundi viewed through the eyes of a family, especially the young children Gaby and Ana. Another special feature is that the father is a white entrepreneur and the mother is a Tutsi. The carefree romp soon takes an ominous turn when genocide breaks loose. The political upheavals are communicated to the viewer via radio and TV archives. A weak variant of Hotel Rwanda, actually, in which the impact of the genocide is elaborated far too weakly. This aside, I have not been bored now, but this film will not stay with me for long.

The genocide in Burundi through the eyes of a young boy who sees his happy, carefree life replaced by fear and sadness.

Film spares us a multitude of gruesome images, but narrates and suggests enough to form an idea about the inhumanity of such frenzied civil wars.
