< "100 Days in Rwanda"   Friday, November 22, 2002  BROOKE
GLADSTONE: One Hundred Days is a feature film, the first that
depicts the 1994 genocide in Rwanda where Hutus massacred at
least half a million of the Tutsi minority. It was shot at the
actual scenes of mass murder with people who saw it all, but it
is not a documentary. The director and co-producer, Nick Hughes,
already had made many documentaries of the horror. This time
Hughes and his co-producer, Eric Kabera, who lost 32 family
members during those one hundred days, wanted to find a new way
to tell the story. So they hired witnesses -- Tutsis and Hutus
-- as actors - and Hughes created a love story to put a human
face on the slaughter. The result is One Hundred Days.  MAN: The
Tutsi came here; they refused to live with us, to marry us or to
share power with us. There is only one solution. [SHOUTING] They
must go! [CROWD CHEERS] So that they never come back! [CHEERS]
You are going to clean the land for your children. You must not
be frightened. The
