'Duhozanye: A Rwandan Village of Widows' is a feature Norwegian documentary film for television from 2011 by director Karoline Frogner.

Norway's previous minister of justice, Knut Storberget, referred to Duhozanye in his latest book: "a film about a community of widows in Rwanda, an insightful and intense

depiction of these widows."Storberget K. (2012) Det er dine yne jeg ser, om forbrytelse straff og forsoning

Summary



The Kinyarwanda word 'duhozanye' means "let us console one another". Frogner's film documents the development of the Duhozanye Association founded by Daphrose Mukarutamu, a Tutsi who lost her husband and nine of her eleven children to the Rwandan genocide. The community was at first a group of neighbours who buried the dead and cared for twenty orphans, but grew to a network of some 4000 widows, both Hutus and Tutsis, who cared for each other and for the orphans of the genocide, running courses, starting businesses and participating in national reconciliation.
