Red Sands

Synopsis

Bullfighting endures the stigma of animal cruelty yet also holds the grace and elegance of tradition. This paradox evokes an inner conflict rarely addressed. Red Sands is an objective and Eisenstein-esque documentary, raising questions about age old tradition and its future.

Director: Ornella Mutoni

Year: 2024

A group of young adults born during or just after the 1994 genocide against Rwanda's Tutsi people gather to find the courage to break a powerful taboo. Rwanda is one of the few nations in the world providing specialist counselling for children conceived through rape, who number 10,000 across the country. Here, course leader Emilienne, a mother, therapist and genocide survivor, helps the group to imagine a future free from family secrets and societal stigma. In a circle of supportive peers, they tell their individual stories and face their struggles together, in the hope their participation will advocate for others facing similar trauma.
