REVIEWS:
"The significance of the documentary is triple E: Education, Eradication, Emancipation.
I think this is a good educational instrument to educate people about what happened. We don't want it to happen again, so that's education. Eradication: to eradicate people's ignorance about issues. And emancipation is to free up the spirit, especially young people. You know they say, 'This really happened? Is it really happening?' To free their spirit and make them say, 'This is what happened and we don't want it to happen again.'”
-- Sichan Siv, former U.S. Ambassador to Cambodia and survivor of Pol Pot's Killing Fields in Cambodia.

“This project shares with our children what has happened and is happening… educates the new generation, ideally, it really helps to ensure these genocides don't happen again. I hope many people will be able to learn about what happened in Burundi and across the globe."
