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.][
