SYNOPSIS:
Peace Beyond Justice is an investigation
into the controversial community court system known as
"Gacaca" (pronounced Ga-Cha-cha),
which was adopted in Rwanda to deal with the massive number of people
accused of genocide crimes after the 1994 genocide. The film gives
voice to both the survivors and the perpetrators of genocide, as
well as the creators and participants of the Gacaca courts, taking
the audience through actual trials and revealing the successes and
challenges faced by the courts as the society struggles to find
peace. The aim of the documentary is to engage Rwandans and others
in debate on the issues of post-conflict justice and reconciliation
by presenting the experiences of those involved in the ambitious
intervention that is Gacaca.
