Rwandan director Marie-Clémentine Dusabejambo made history by winning the prestigious "Caméra d’Or" for "Best First Film" for her debut work "Ben’Imana" at the 79th Cannes film festival.

The first Rwandan film to ever screen at the festival explores the complexities of justice and reconciliation in Rwanda.

In the years following the Genocide against the Tutsi, community-led trials for justice and reconciliation continue across the country. Vénéranda, a survivor, leads dialogue between victims and the families of perpetrators, helping others rebuild their lives and look towards the future. But when she learns of her daughter’s unexpected pregnancy, she is forced to confront the limits of her own convictions.
