Ingando - When Enemies Return. A documentary on the reconciliation process in Rwanda 12 years after the genocide in 1994.
A film by Martin Buch Larsen & Jesper Houborg
In 1994, when the Rwanda genocide ended, an estimate of 1.5 million people from the ethnic group called 'Hutus', who somehow had been involved or affected by the genocide, fled to the neighbouring country of DR. Congo.
After more than 12 years in exile, a growing number of 'Hutus' are now returning home to Rwanda.
Before they are allowed back to Rwanda as civilians, they are all requested to pass through an Ingando camp (transit-camp),where they are de-mobilized, educated and prepared to return home as civilians.
The film follows to former soldiers' lives in the Ingando, and gives a voice to their thoughts and dreams of a positive return.
Dreams, which will later be challenged by sceptical genocide survivors, who may become their future neighbours.
