HÄNZEL & GRETZEL
Genocides (2:50)
Beyond an ethnic conflict in Rwanda and Burundi ending in a genocide,
how do Western viewers perceive the massacres, the instant non-/dis-information,
the involvement of the Western powers? What are the meaning and value of these
bloody images between commercials, clichés and voyeuristic newsmania? Abandon,
pity, humanitarian neo-colonialism, collective guilt, personal responsibilities,
crimes and punishments... is Death just another videoclip? A "neverending"
story.
