When the hills ask for your blood : a personal story of genocide and Rwanda
Belton, David2014
Books, Manuscripts
20 years have now passed since Rwanda erupted into a 100 day orgy of killing, leaving close to a million people dead. On an assignment for BBC's Newsnight, David Belton, like others, has never come to terms with the horrors he witnessed. He retraces his steps into St Andre Church where he first encountered piles of dead families, and regroups with genocide survivor Jean-Pierre, who has received a letter asking for forgiveness from the man who cut up his father with a machete. Through the eyes of Jean-Pierre and his wife Odette, we revisit the bloody days of the massacre.
