Rwanda's Genocide Inciters
Tuesday, December 09, 2003
Nearly 70 percent of Rwanda’s Tutsi population was killed over 100 days during the country’s civil war in 1994. Last week, in a landmark case, the international court found three Rwandan journalists guilty of instigating the genocide. New Yorker contributor Philip Gourevich is joined by Thierry Cruvellier, who worked in Rwanda with Journalists Without Borders, to discuss the story behind these convictions. Plus, Marilyn Johnson looks into the history of police violence in New York City, Street Justice. Peter Matthiessen discusses his voyages into Antarctica and his book End of the Earth. And Danny Gregory shares his graphic diary, Everyday Matters.
