Populated by two irreconcilable tribes - the Tutsis and the majority Hutus - the country had long been steeped in a divisive antagonism. Encouraged by the Habyarimana government to rage against their Tutsi compatriots, Hutu women as well as men took up arms and went amok killing their neighbours. Recounting their experiences with clarity and a shocking lack of sentimentality are eight female perpetrators, all of whom have been imprisoned for taking part in the genocide. Immacul e, whose self-narration was most prominently featured, admits to being an 'animal' and undeserving of her traumatised son J rôme's forgiveness. And he laments, 'What is dirty will never regain its purity.' Filmmakers Violaine Baraduc and Alexandre Westphal guide us through some of the darkest atrocities of war by way of the women's memories - and by the impossible love between a mother and her son. ...Shades Of True ( A mots couverts )
