Summary

At a Gacaca court in Southern Rwanda, a women accuses a man of 'killing my husband and nephews!' Yet the main witness defends the accused: 'I didn't see him until we came to Kabuga'. The witness has been imprisoned for genocide killings himself but after repenting, he was granted early release. As a minority, the Tutsis knew they had to create a justice system, revolving around reconciliation. The Gacaca courts have proved to be the answer: 'We feel we should run faster, and get this country to greater heights' says the chief of police, 'there is quite a lot we missed during the genocide'
