Tonight at 8pm on WILL-TV:
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 UN peacekeepers stationed amid the carnage
who were ordered not to intervene; to those holding positions of power at
the White House. 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.
