Chronicle
AUDIENCE AWARD - 2005 Sundance Film Festival
In 1994, over 800,000 men, women, and children
were massacred in the small African country of
Rwanda. Canadian General Roméo Dallaire was
charged with an impossible task: to head the UN
peacekeeping mission with a handful of soldiers
ordered not to use force to protect Rwandans from
the mass slaughter. Based on Dallaire's
best-selling book, the film follows the General's
return to the region 10 years later, as he comes
to grips with the events that have haunted him.
The film, according to American Prospect, is
about a man's journey "not to seek forgiveness
but to mourn and to fight against forgetting.
One man, one witness, to the world's
indifference." Directed by Peter Raymont.
Engagement runs JULY 15th - JULY 21st ONE WEEK ONLY!
