Rating:  - the most touching story...
An amazingly honest, touching true story that left me with thinking and knowing more about Rwanda and its people. It digs even deeper into the Rwanda issue that the movie "HOTEL RWANDA" as it deals with an invidiual and her struggle in this horrible war alone.
Rating:  - Every High School Must Show This
This is a very brief overview of Immaculee's incredible, horrible and hope filled witness to the hate we human beings are capable of, AND the depths of LOVE that God invites each one of to know in the midst of humanly impossible situations.Her book is profound.It should be read by every person on this planet. For those of us who do read it, what a gift it would be to find ourselves in it; in both the possiblity of such hatred that can take hold of our own hearts, and in the "bathroom" with Immaculee ...

Rating: - Must watch DVD
Short and sweet, this DVD is well worth watching.
Immaculee give a human face as a suvivor of one of the worst tragedies in human history since the Nazi's impurged the Holocaust on the Jews.

Could have been a little longer however, and more reference made to the book that she ... Read More
Rating: - Nice to accompany book
Our bookclub read "Left to Tell", which was a wonderful book and resulted in lively discussion.The DVD "Imaculee's Diary" was perfect for after book discussion to actually see the place where she was kept and see some of the individuals referenced in the book.I would definately recommend getting both.Was pretty graphic at times with historical footage, and a little sad at times.
Rating: - Lived to Tell, Documentary of Emmaculee Ilibagiza
An incredible story of faith and survival. A must read for everyone. We keep saying never again to genocide and still these things happen. We must say the same to war, especially Bush's war of invasion on Iraq.
