Winner of the Cannes Camera d'Or which honors an outstanding debut feature, writer-director Marie-Clémentine Dusabejambo sets her powerful story, in the years following the genocide against the Tutsi. As community-led trials for justice and reconciliation continue across the country, Vénéranda, a survivor, leads dialogue between victims and the families of perpetrators, helping others rebuild their lives and look towards the future. When she learns of her daughter’s unexpected pregnancy, she is forced to confront the limits of her own convictions. BEN’IMANA incisively traces the complicated path towards healing in the aftermath of atrocity, asking how to find forgiveness in the unforgivable. An Alexander release.
