The 1994 Rwandan Genocide left the country nearly 70% female, handing Rwanda's women an extraordinary burden and an unprecedented opportunity. An inspiring story of loss and redemption "God Sleeps in Rwanda" tells the story of women survivor's spirit to overcome the genocide's devastating legacy. The film follows five courageous women as they rebuild their lives, and, in doing so, redefine women's roles in Rwandan society and bring hope to a wounded nation.
