Скачать или смотреть The Rwandan Genocide (1994): A Hundred Days of Horror and Survival

In 1994, Rwanda witnessed one of the darkest chapters in modern history. In just 100 days, over 800,000 people—mostly Tutsi, along with moderate Hutu—were killed in what became known as the Rwandan Genocide. This video documentary explains how the genocide happened, the role of propaganda, the international response, and the lessons the world must never forget.

Paragraph 2 (Context + narrative keywords)
From colonial divisions that hardened ethnic identities, to the downing of President Juvénal Habyarimana’s plane on April 6, 1994, and the rise of RTLM radio propaganda, this story traces how ordinary structures of government, media, and militias fueled mass killings across Kigali, Butare, Nyamata, Kibuye, and beyond. We also explore the role of the UN, the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), and international powers during this critical moment.

Paragraph 3 (Value + modern relevance)
This is more than a story of tragedy. It is a lesson in how genocide is planned, organized, and executed—and a warning about the dangers of hate speech, propaganda, and global silence. The video also highlights Rwanda’s path to justice and recovery, from the ICTR in Arusha to community-based Gacaca courts.

Paragraph 4 (Viewer engagement + call-to-action)
If you’re interested in world history, African history, genocide studies, or human rights, this video is for you. Watch to the end to understand how the world failed—and what can still be learned to prevent the next atrocity.
