Earth Made of Glass (2011)

In the shadow of the deadliest war known to mankind, unfolding in the eastern regions of Congo, "Earth Made of Glass" (2011) traces the intertwining journeys of two souls bound by a love for their country, the thirst for truth, and an indomitable spirit for peace. Rwandan President Paul Kagame, on August 6th, 2008, unveils a report that uncovers the clandestine involvement of the French government in the 1994 Rwandan genocide. This revelation is followed by the arrest of his trusted aide, Rose Kabuye, in France on terrorism charges, triggering a battle for her freedom and the unveiling of the grim truth that has been shrouded for the past fifteen years. Simultaneously, we follow the odyssey of Jean-Pierre Sagahutu, a man scarred by the genocide, haunted by the enigma of his father's murder. He embarks on a fifteen-year quest across the Rwandan landscape, seeking answers, leading him to the doorstep of his darkest fear: a confrontation with his father's killer. As President Kagame strives to unearth the concealed truths about Rwanda's past, Jean-Pierre finds himself at the crime scene, peeling back layers of chilling facts behind his father’s demise. As they both relentlessly chase the truth, they are faced with a profound choice: revenge or forgiveness. Even though they've never met, their stories become interwoven in this evocative film. Together, their pursuit not only stirs the process of rebuilding a family and a nation but also redefines the essence of forgiveness. Their narratives, echoing across Africa and the world, challenge the very bedrock of hatred and violence, forging a path towards an era of peace and reconciliation.

Earth Made of Glass is a documentary movie featuring Rose Kabuye and directed by Deborah Scranton.
