Save $115 when you buy MY NEIGHBOR MY KILLER and THE NOTEBOOKS OF MEMORY together.

Gacaca (Ga-CHA-cha), which literally means "justice on the grass", is a form of citizen-based justice which the Rwandans put into place to deal with the crimes of the 1994 genocide. Filming for over a decade in a tiny rural hamlet, Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Anne Aghion has charted the impact of the Gacaca on survivors and perpetrators alike. THE NOTEBOOKS OF MEMORY is the last film in a three part series that includes GACACA, LIVING TOGETHER AGAIN IN RWANDA? and IN RWANDA WE SAY... THE FAMILY THAT DOES NOT SPEAK DIES. MY NEIGHBOR MY KILLER is a feature length film—the culmination of the project.
