If you like being on a roller-coaster of emotions and graphic, like REALLY graphic scenes, this is for you. I was chuckling at one second and the next I was feeling like I could vomit, don't watch this while eating.

L'histoire émouvante d'un jeune garçon qui grandit dans l'ombre du génocide rwandais et de la guerre civile burundaise. Ce serait un bon roman à explorer dans un cours d'histoire ou de français au secondaire.

Ce livre m’a beaucoup touché. Et je le recommanderais pas à tout le monde du fait de sa violence particulièrement. De tout les livres que j’ai lu c’est lui qui m’a le plus boulversé surtout sachant que les événements passés sont très récents, cela paraît irréel. On suit l’histoire d’un jeune garçon, Gabriel vivant au Burundi, avec son père français et sa mère Rwandaise, on voit alors le genocide rwandais des Tusti se deroulé. Je ne comprends honnêtement pas qu’on en parle pas plus, ne serait-ce qu’à l’école?
