Forsaken Cries: The Story of Rwanda

---

In 1994, close to 1 million people were killed in a planned and systematic genocide in the African country of Rwanda. How did this carnage occur when the world declared after WW II that it would never again tolerate such violence? Who was responsible? Why did the international community fail to respond? How can we prevent the spiraling communal conflicts of the global era? What role do we play as human rights activists?

EDUCATING FOR ACTION: Amnesty International USA has just completed a new documentary that attempts to answer these questions. Accompanied by an educational packet, the video Forsaken Cries examines Rwanda as a case study of the human rights challenge of the 21st century.

Includes a special section of activities for use with the video in high school and college classrooms:

I The Geography of Rwanda II Defining Genocide III History of the Great Lakes Region IV Re-enactment of the Horror

V Discussion Questions VI Hate Speech / Hate Crimes VII Taking Action
