As We Forgive (www.asweforgivemovie.com)

Angelus Outstanding Documentary Award sponsored by Priddy Brothers Laura Waters Hinson, American University

“A powerful story…it will help you forgive the people in your life.”

-Rick Warren

Could you forgive a person who murdered your family? This is the question faced by the subjects of As We Forgive, a documentary about two Rwandan women coming face-to-face with the men who slaughtered their families during the 1994 genocide. Struggling to live again as neighbors, these survivors and killers discover the power and the pain of radical reconciliation.
