Sometimes in April - The Real Deal
Review date: 2007-11-06 Rating: 10 out of 10
Sometimes in April is the real deal. It is ferocious in it's criticism of both Belgian colonialism and UN involvement in the genocide, in a way no other film has had the balls to do. It starts at the beginning of the route of the genocide, unafraid to lay blame where blame belongs - at the feet of the West who cowardly turned their backs on the 1994 consequences of their historical mess-ups. The main character is a Rwandan - none of this White Boy Saves Africa syndrome - and he honestly and convincingly portrays a human story as opposed to a sensational 'what kind of people would do that' narration that comes across in other films about the genocide. Peck is also deliberate in the scenes he choses to shoot - the lack of violence leaves the audience to consider the facts, as opposed to shaking off the sensational-shock factor outside the cinema. Buy it. Watch it. You show your abhorent politics if you don't.
