Abstract
This chapter explores the media coverage of the genocide in Rwanda, journalistic practices and issues of access and ethics. It then briefly outlines how the genocide and its aftermath have been represented in fiction and documentary film before sketching out the theoretical framework for the book. It investigates the major debates about the relationship between still and moving documentary images and collective and individual memory, temporality, death, trauma and the notions of evidence and truth. The chapter includes a discussion of the political, moral and representational challenges to images of African violence and suffering disseminated in the West.
