In 1994, Rwanda was marked by bloodshed; a country that was full of darkness, gloom and dimness. Genocide was planned and executed by its nationals, Over 1.7 million Tutsi were killed in 100 days. Killing, burning of houses and sexual assault against Tutsi women and other shameful acts destroyed Rwanda.

Sexual assaults took place before the eyes of the children and this pscyhologically harmed many of genocide survivors. This story tells real situation happened to Regina Myirabananira who was raped and infected by HIV/AIDS as a result of the rape during 1994 Tutsi genocide in Rwanda. In 1997 she advised her fellow women who were assaulted by the same group to have HIV/AIDS test and they were all positive.

This film tries to find the real cause of genocide and how it was planned and carried out by the government of 1994 and the involvement of citizens to destroy the country.
