One of the Thousand Hills

They did not know that being born as Tutsi was a crime in Rwanda. The lives of Fiacre, Fidéline and Olivier ended in 1994, and the last days of these children are linked to three events: the memory of the genocide, the Gacaca trials of 2005 and the resilience of the village where those who were devastated and those who loved them live a life together again. The film tries to approach the truth, to restore its existence and to preserve the history of a hill for all hills.

Il popolo delle donne

The film highlights the relationship between women’s growing social empowerment and the rise in sexual abuse by men – a trend that was the opposite of what was largely expected to happen. The film revolves around Marina Valcarenghi, psychotherapist and psychoanalyst with a forty-five-year career in clinical work that has allowed her to observe the persistence of women’s insecurity, despite the economic and social independence they have gradually achieved, and understand why. Valcarenghi was the first to introduce psychoanalysis in prisons, starting with the Opera and Bollate penitentiaries. For twelve years she worked with male inmates held in solitary confinement; most of them had been convicted of sexual violence.
