Tutsi Genocide
I had previously heard details about the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda but this short film reflected more on the aftermath. I had no idea that over 200,000 women were raped and some infected with HIV. With most of the fathers dead and gone these women are going through hell economically and their health is failing. I do think this film displays Black female subjectivity. On one had the women were being used and objectified however that imagery was withheld. The film focuses pretty much only on Black women in africa and explores the different elements of their life and their struggles, from a empathetic viewpoint.
