In post-genocide Rwanda, a survivor's path crosses again with her assailant; from the depths of cruelty and pain, an unprecedented bond of forgiveness and friendship emerges.
Fruits of forgiveness - Survival, Redemption, Reconciliation, Friendship
In the haunting backdrop of the 1994 Rwandan genocide against the Tutsis, Claudette, a survivor, faced the unfathomable brutality of Ntambara, a Hutu aggressor. With a machete's blow and the chilling thrust of a gun rod into her shoulder, Ntambara believed he had left her lifeless. Miraculously, Claudette endured. Ntambara, subsequently imprisoned for his heinous acts, emerged years later as a man transformed. With a plea for redemption, he sought Claudette's forgiveness. Through an unparalleled journey of forgiveness and resilience, the two find not just reconciliation, but an unlikely friendship — sharing meals, laughter, and memories.
