Synopsis
The film is a dramatisation of events that happened during the 1994 genocide against Tutsi people in Rwanda. It focuses on the life of a young, refugee Tutsi girl, Josette, and her attempts to find safety while the genocide is taking place. She enters a church that is purportedly a sanctuary protected by UN forces, but the church's Hutu priest agrees to spare her life only in exchange for being raped.[1]

Production
The film was the first feature film made about the 1994 Rwandan genocide.[2][3] It employed no professional actors; rather the filmmakers used actual Tutsi and Hutu survivors to act out the script, and was shot on location at the actual scenes where acts of genocide occurred.[1][3][4]
The title of the film is a direct reference to the length of time that passed from the beginning of the genocide on 6 April until it ended in mid-July 1994.
Release
The film was released in 2001, four years after filming.[1]
