Sometime in April (Sometimes in April), a tragic film about the 1994 Rwanda massacre in which the West did not mediate, joined the competition section of the Berlin Film Festival and was one of two films about the atrocity during the 11-day festival. While Terry George's Hotel Rwanda focuses on the same background and theme, Raulpec shows the trauma of the civil war in different ways. These two films and "Carmen of Kayalisha" can see the rise of South African films. Sometime in April, which depicts the bloodshed of the Holocaust, is an absolute deterrent compared to Hotel Rwanda, a film on the same theme. The film, co-produced by the United States and Rwanda, is the first major film about the genocide of about 800000 Tutsi and Hutu, filmed locally in Rwanda and using a large number of local residents as extras. Raoul Peck, a Haitian-born director and human rights activist, said that Rwandans who still have vivid memories of the disaster should be used as extras.
