Dans l’enceinte de la prison centrale de Kigali, huit femmes incarcérées témoignent. Vingt ans après le génocide perpétré contre les Tutsi rwandais, Immaculée et ses codétenues racontent leur participation aux violences, retracent leur itinéraire meurtrier et se confient.
À l’extérieur, Jérôme, le fils d’Immaculée, occupe une place impossible entre bourreaux et victimes. Né d’un père tutsi, il peine à mettre des mots sur l’histoire qu’il a vécue. La relation qu’il entretient avec sa mère, entre espoir de dialogue et réconciliation impossible, laisse entrevoir les blessures du Rwanda d’aujourd’hui.

Existe en version 60 minutes sous le titre Rwanda, l'impossible pardon.

Shot in Kigali’s Central Prison between 2011 and 2013 this documentary sheds light on the role of female perpetrators in the genocide against the Tutsi for the first time. In the Central Prison of Kigali, eight women incarcerated for their commitment in the genocide testify. Twenty years after the tragic events, Immaculée, Mwamine and their co-inmates talk about their participation in the violences.
Outside, Jérôme, the son of Immaculée, tries to find his place between the perpetrators and the victims. Born of a Tutsi father, he hardly finds the words to tell his story. The relationship he has with his mother, between the hope of reconciliation and an impossible dialogue make us feel the wounds of the country.
