The Media is a tool that was once used for very bad reasons. It spread hate, raw messages, and discrimination. In the western world, many were misinformed from their own media. The Rwandan Genocide was shut out from the world where no one knew about it. Assumptions were made. The world unknowingly turned its back on Rwanda and this action can never be taken back.
Now, there is a way to help bring attention to the topic. Many movies such as Hotel Rwanda are informing and spreading the news of the Rwandan Genocide. Songs, class projects, charities, donations. With so many options to help promote justice and reconciliation, the media is an important tool to be used.
In order for an issue like this to never happen again the world needs to know that people care. Help prevent the next genocide by paying attention to this genocide.
Spread the word.
