Rwandan director Marie-Clémentine Dusabejambot has become the country's first filmmaker to win the Camera d’Or for best first feature at the Cannes film festival, with Ben’Imana. The Kigali-based director talks to RFI about exploring how survivors and perpetrators continued living side by side in the year’s following the 1994 genocide and the difficult but necessary path towards reconciliation and healing.
Dusabejambo spent more than a decade making the film, which premiered in the festival's Un Certain Regard section and won the top prize for a debut feature.
