20 years after the genocide in Rwanda, these perpetrators and survivors are standing for forgiveness.

Seth Dixon‘s insight:

The idea behind these images is incredibly powerful and heartbreaking.  The horrific genocide turned neighbor against neighbor and tore communities and a country apart.  I can only imagine the pain for the individuals, but also the trauma inflicted on the national psyche.
