Back Home is a haunting documentary that digs deep into the scars left by the 1994 Rwandan genocide. What stands out is the personal touch, as J.B. Rutagarama, the director and a survivor, captures both the brutal reality and the resilience of those affected. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of the story to settle in, and the atmosphere is heavy with loss yet infused with glimpses of hope. The practical effects are minimal, but the raw performances from those sharing their truths resonate powerfully. It’s not just a recounting of historical events; it's a heartfelt exploration of memory, survival, and the need for healing. The film challenges viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about humanity.
