Contents Summary
First part of "Sitting on a Volcano," a film that follows the exodus of hundreds of thousands of Hutus who fled Rwanda to take refuge in neighboring countries. Shot in different refugee camps in Rwanda and Zaire (Democratic Republic of Congo), the documentary stresses the incapacity of the international community to protect refugees: one year after the slaughter, they still find themselves trapped between gangs of Rwandan war criminals in control of the refugee camps and their country's new leaders, who show little interest in reconciliation. Features interviews with: Michael Marchen (Toronto policeman, CARE Canada), Alain Destexhe (Doctors Without Borders), Chris Janowski (U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees), Lynn Ngugi (social worker, CARE Kenya), Augustin Bizimana (Former Rwandan Defense Minister), Gen. Guy De Tousignant (Commander U.N. Mission to Rwanda, UNAMIR), Faustin Twagiramungu (Prime Minister of Rwanda), Alphonse Marie Nkubito (Rwandan Minister of Justice), and Antoine Sibumana (Bourgmestre of Mbazi).
