Rwanda
Fifteen years ago 800,000 Rwandans perished in a spasm of genocidal violence. While the international community stood by, Rwandan society disintegrated. The violence destroyed civic and economic life, and left millions displaced. One of the most disturbing elements of the genocide was the participation in the genocide by many members of the media, particularly the staff of Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM) one of the country’s largest radio stations. This piece was produced as a project in the Media in Conflict and Post-Conflict Societies class, which is offered by the Graduate Program in International Affairs (GPIA). Instructor Michael Keating asked us to produce a creative piece in reaction to our discussion on the role of the media in the Rwandan genocide. The piece is an abstract collage made up of audio snippets from RTLM paired with survivor testimony, UN communiqués from the crisis, international law documents pertaining to genocide, Hutu propaganda, and an academic essay on observing and cataloguing war. A special thanks to Jenny Briggs, Heathre Contant, Neal Hicks, and Kevin Shippman for providing their voices, and to Myroslaw Bytz and Anke Hendriks for their engineering support.
