Assignment: Cursed Be Closed Eyes

on BBC Two England

Nearly two years ago, close to one million Rwandans were slaughtered when Hutus massacred members of the Tutsi minority. The United Nations defined what happened as genocide, but with only a handful of magistrates to investigate 6,000 cases, the trials continue to be postponed.

This programme follows three people who risked their lives to try to bring the guilty to justice. Francoise Saulnier, of Medecins Sans Frontieres, human rights activist Joseph Matata, and the former chief prosecutor of Rwanda's capital, Kigali, Francois Xavier, who lost ten members of his family, are afraid that justice may never be done.

Last in the series.
