After Years of Walking

Synopsis

After the genocide of 1994, the Rwandan government temporarily suspended history from the school curriculum. The characters in After Years of Walking - children, teachers, genocide killers, students and historians - all find themselves in an uncertain zone between the old history and a new one.
 
The filmmaker found a feature film about the history of Rwanda, made in 1959 by Belgian missionaries. She took this film back to Rwanda as an entry point into Rwanda's search for history.
