This teacher's guide accompanies the FRONTLINE documentary "Ghosts of Rwanda"

This FRONTLINE program is a special two-hour documentary to mark the 10th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide. In addition to the documentary, there is a timeline, interviews, and an analysis of the genocide.

The Genocide Archive of Rwanda collections contain over 100 testimonies from survivors, rescuers, elders, and perpetrators of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. Please be aware that some testimonies contain sensitive content.

This 10 minute video provides an overview of the Cambodian Genocide and the Khmer Rouge.

This movie is based on the true story of New York Times Reporter Sydney Schanberg, who covered the Cambodian War.

Samsara documents the struggle of the Cambodian people to rebuild a shattered society in a climate of war and with limited resources. Ancient prophecy Buddhist teachings, and folklore provide a context for understanding the Cambodian tragedy, bringing a humanistic perspective to a country in deep political turmoil.

This lesson has two purposes. It teaches students about one young man's experience in Cambodia during the genocide and helps them develop awareness of the different life experiences of their classmates. I would show the video clip first and then have the students read the story and respond to the discussion questions

An overview of the Cambodian Genocide including video footage and video survivor accounts.

Brief historical description of the genocide and its aftermath. Five testimonies from survivors of the genocide. A free account is necessary to access testimonies.
