<pre>Description
A dramatisation of the brutal events that befell the citizens of Rwanda in April 1994.
Director Raoul Peck shot the bulk of the picture in Rwanda, adding an incredible
feeling of poignancy to his film by revisiting many of the sites where the unthinkable
acts of genocide occurred. Peck focuses his cameras on two Hutu brothers, a military
man and a DJ. The Hutus were responsible for the estimated 800,000 deaths of their
Tutsi countrymen during this period; the violence was sparked when Rwandan president
Juvenal Habyarimana also a Hutu, was killed after his plane was shot down on April 6th.
As the gruesome events unfold, the two brothers lives are immeasurably changed in
ways they never thought possible. Hard hitting and not afraid to depict many of the
graphic scenes of violence that exploded across Rwanda during this dark chapter in
Africas history, SOMETIMES IN APRIL is a courageous, brave piece of filmmaking
that stands alongside Terry Georges HOTEL RWANDA as an important document of
a tragic time.
