Episode Synopsis

Rwanda stands as perhaps the most profound case study in how societies rebuild after unimaginable trauma. When the genocide ended in July 1994, the new government faced a challenge that seemed impossible: create justice when 800,000 were dead, rebuild social trust when neighbors had murdered neighbors, and forge a shared future when the past was still bleeding.Through intimate stories of Rwandans navigating impossible moral terrain, this episode explores what happens after the unimaginable – when justice, truth, survival and coexistence must somehow be balanced. Listen and witness one of history's most challenging and instructive examples of a nation finding its long way home.Have feedback?
