| In the 100 days of genocide that ravaged the small Central African nation of Rwanda from April until July 1994, about one million Tutsi and moderate Hutu were killed and an estimated 250,000 to 500,000 women and girls were raped. According to a UN report, rape was the rule and its absence the exception. No one was spared. Grandmothers were raped in front of their grandchildren; girls witnessed their families massacred before being taken as sex slaves; fathers were forced to have sex with their daughters. Almost all women who survived the genocide were victims of sexual violence or were profoundly affected by it. Fifteen years after the genocide, "The Men Who Killed Me" features testimonials from seventeen survivors. Through their narratives and portraits, sixteen women and one man bear witness to the crimes committed against hundreds of thousands of others. | |
