Many films dwell on the 1994 Genocide against The Tutsi and its effects whereas, not all of them became mainstream like Hotel Rwanda, Sometime in April and Shooting Dogs. However, they still remain profound, almost three decades after the killings.

One such is Ishimwa: From Bloodshed to Grace, a 15-minute documentary by Cynthia Butare which addresses loss, despair and belonging.
