Daphrose lost 8 of her 11 children in the genocide of Rwanda. She contemplated killing herself. Instead she took in 20 orphans and started Duhozanye, an organization of hutu and tutsi widows who were married to tutsi men. The first thing the widows did was start carrying the bodies of their loved ones off the street to bury them. Then rebuilt houses, started businesses, bought cows, took care of all the orphaned children and each other. They share their often horrible stories of killing and rape and meet the killers of their children in the gacaca open air courts. Genocide and hate is contagious, but so is love, care and hope. Duhozanye now has 4000 widows as members. This documentary tells their stories. Duhozanye is the first film about the genocide in Rwanda which explains how racial theories lead to the attempted extinction of an entire lineage. Fertile women and children were targeted. If a hutu woman was married to a tutsi man, all her children and her husband were killed before her eyes. Daphrose, who at the time was defined as tutsi, was sheltered by a family with ID-cards which proved they were hutus, and thereby safe. This artificial separation of "hutu" and "tutsi" is abhorred today. Now everyone calls themselves Rwandan.
