April Tragedy

Synopsis

This documentary presents an intergenerational dialogue between the survivors of a genocide and the generation that has followed them, tracing the effects and stories of the Jeju genocide (1948, South Korea) and the Rwandan genocide (1994, Rwanda). The personal stories of the survivors reveal both synchronicities and discrepancies between the two massacres. However, it is inevitable that silence prevails as a sign of respect and empathy for the voices that make up this audiovisual testimony. The documentary claims above all historical memory as the only common palliative for the wounds caused by crimes against humanity.
