Alexandre Westphal

In a small office cluttered with books and other detritus of the writer's life, filmmaker Alexandre Westphal and the writer Percival Everett explore his work. Archival images are projected onto the walls, invading the space and intermingling with Everett's text, to illuminate many of the myriad and fascinating ways that his books reveal contemporary America to itself.

Twenty-five years after the genocide of Tutsis in Rwanda, filmmakers visit a country still haunted by the massacres of spring 1994. A group of inmates try to understand what made their participation in the fourth genocide of the 20th century possible. In Kigali Prison, some testify about their abuses against Tutsis. Directed by Violaine Baraduc and Alexandre Westphal as part of a thesis on the participation of women during the genocide, the film questions the generalization of violence to all layers of Rwandan society.
