FRONTLINE marks the 10th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide
with a documentary chronicling one of the worst atrocities of the
20th century. In addition to interviews with key government
officials and diplomats, the two-hour documentary offers
groundbreaking, eyewitness accounts of the genocide from those who
experienced it firsthand: from Tutsi survivors who recount the
horror of seeing their friends and family members slaughtered by
neighbors and coworkers; to the diplomats on the scene who
struggled to convey the severity of the crisis to their superiors
in Washington; to the UN peacekeepers stationed amid the carnage
who were ordered not to intervene. Through these accounts,
FRONTLINE illustrates the social, political, and diplomatic
failures that enabled the slaughter of 800,000 people to occur
unabated and unchallenged by the global community.
