Plot

A powerful documentary about five women whose lives have been irrevocably altered by the Rwandan genocide. With the country left nearly 70% female in the wake of the massacres, "God Sleeps In Rwanda" is a lucid portrait of the much larger change affected by women in the East African country.—akaij

The 1994 Rwandan Genocide left the country nearly 70% female handing Rwanda's women an extraordinary burden and an unprecedented opportunity. An inspiring story of loss and redemption "God Sleeps in Rwanda" tells the story of women survivor's spirit to overcome the genocide's devastating legacy. The film follows five courageous women as they rebuild their lives, and, in doing so, redefine women's roles in Rwandan society and bring hope to a wounded nation.—Anonymous
