Media and Identity: reporting the Rwandan genocide

Polis media dialogue in partnership with LSE Arts


This event will discuss how the media reports post-atrocity Rwanda, and the implications this has in shaping the identity and recovery process of survivors of genocide. Joined by two survivors of the Rwandan genocide, Patrick Iregura and Serge Rwigamba and Channel 4 News' World Editor Lindsey Hilsum, this event will reflect on how the story was told before, during and after the brutal events. It will examine the gaps between reality on the ground during times of mass atrocity and humanitarian crisis, and the public's perception of it, as gleaned from the media, in the West.
