Synopsis
An interactive cinematic journey through post-genocide Rwanda, where viewers shape the path of a war criminal’s reckoning and a nation's road to reconciliation.
"Traces of Responsibility" is an interactive experience where viewers delve in a multi-perspective exploration of the complex origins and aftermath of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. The interactive road movie follows the story of a convicted war criminal with ties to Switzerland, taking audiences through the Rwanda of today. On this immersive journey also offers a glimpse of hope, showcasing how a nation can unite and reconcile after such a tragedy. Viewers have the power to choose how deeply they want to delve into history.
It’s designed to be watched both individually and collectively. The cinematic multiplayer adventure empowers the audience to democratically shape the narrative, with 16 possible endings and 8 main storylines, offering a total of 38 decision points throughout the almost 7 hours of film. The individual streaming version lasts 45-55 minutes, while the theatrical version can last 90-110 min. For the collective experience, we offer a second run-through that starts at the main decision point, blocking out the previously ones.
