Sometimes in April Workshop!

In religion class we have been watching the film "Sometimes in April" as part of our module on development education. It is a movie that deals with the Rwandan genocide and its effect on the Rwandan people and the rest of the world. The movie is filmed from the perspective of Augustin, a Hutu who married a Tutsi woman, and looks at his experiences of the war and how he deals with its reprecussions for the rest of his life. I really enjoyed the movie and found it very moving since it showed how the west really overlooks suffering in the developing world.
