We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families (1998)

The bizarre stories told by survivors of the Rwandan Genocide prove how impossible it is to understand the motives behind ethnic cleansing. You can’t ever truly understand something that is founded on evil. The UN’s slowness to acknowledge the mass killings as a genocide sparks questions of how orgs define genocide and “the burdens that the g-word carries.” The international community’s shirking of responsibility, most excellently summed up by the United States’ failure to answer “how many acts of genocide does it take to make genocide?”, proves how nonsensical it is to base action or inaction on the quantifiability of something so intangible. When dealing with atrocities such as this one, denouncing evil is a far cry from doing good.
