Sometimes in April - The Real Deal- By: Ms. H. Stevenson, 06 Nov 2007 Sometimes in April is the real deal. It is ferocious in it's criticism of both Belgian colonialism & UN involvement in the genocide, in a way no other film has had the ballls to do. It starts at the beginning of the route of the genocide, unafraid to lay blame where blame belongs - at the feet of the West who cowardly turned their backs on the 1994 consequences of their historical mess-ups. The main character is a Rwandan - none of this White Boy Saves Africa syndrome - & he honestly & convincingly portrays a human story as opposed to a sensational 'what kind of people would do that' narration that comes across in other films about the genocide. Peck is also deliberate in the scenes he choses to shoot - the lack of violence leaves the audience to consider the facts, as opposed to shaking off the sensational-shock factor outside the cinema. Buy it. Watch it. You show your abhorent politics if you don't.
