Devil's Children
Annie Arnou/Stev Van Thielen | Belgium | 1995 | 30 min. | documentary video

A chilling investigation of the use of rape as a humiliating "weapon" against women in Rwanda during the genocide of 1994. Many women were killed after being raped but many others survived, burdened with pain and feeling disgrace that they tried to hide from their families and friends. Some became pregnant and were left with little choice if they wanted to survive in a country divided--have an abortion or abandon the child. In Devil's Children these women speak of their ordeal for the first time.
