In 1994, Rwanda's Hutu-led government began a campaign of ethnic cleansing that left more than 800,000 people dead, mostly members of the minority Tutsi population. An estimated 250,000 women, men and children were also brutally assaulted during mass rapes, which led to the world's first prosecution of rape as a war crime. A new documentary, "The Uncondemned," which premiered in theaters last month, takes an in-depth look at the difficulties of prosecuting mass rape in international courts by reconstructing the landmark case in Rwanda that changed the game for prosecuting rape as an act of genocide. NewsHour Weekend Correspondent Ivette Feliciano spoke with the filmmaker about the case.
