Synopsis: 1994. There is a civil war in Burundi, we are witnessing the attack of a minibus. A Kalashnikov bursts. The bus stops, the passengers get off. There follows the „selection“ between the Hutus and the Tutsis. The groups are separated, the questioning begins. But who’s a Hutu, who’s a Tutsi?
Inhalt: 1994 in Burundi an der Grenze zu Ruanda: Schon der Schauplatz deutet eine dramatische Geschichte im Schatten des Genozids an. Und Regisseur Ivan Goldschmidt enttäuscht die Erwartungen des Zuschauers nicht. Ein Bus wird von der örtlichen Miliz gestoppt, die Passagiere sollen in Hutus und Tutsi aufgeteilt werden – augenscheinlich, um die Tutsi zu töten. Doch wer ist Hutu und wer Tutsi?
