IMIHIGO – Le serment Rwandais

Tal Barda’s documentary follows Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish, the Palestinian physician whose 2009 personal tragedy—loss of three daughters and a niece when his home was bombed—propelled him into a life of advocacy. Through testimony and witnessing, the film traces his exile to Canada and unwavering call for reconciliation, underscored by his multiple nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. Poised and resolute, the film is a quiet, powerful portrait of grief, resilience and the search for hope amid political rupture.

The screening will be followed by a discussion in English in the presence of the film’s protagonist, the Palestinian physician Izzeldin Abuelaish.

Bernard Weber and Martin Schilt examine the Kweku Adoboli affair with forensic rigor in THE NARRATIVE, reconstructing the trial from original transcripts. Blending archival footage, testimony from close associates and staged courtroom re-enactments filmed in Ghana, the film interrupts familiar journalistic frames to expose the mechanics of global banking and a contested justice. Sparse, observational camerawork and incisive edits foreground uncertainty over tidy explanations, inviting reflection on culpability, media narrative and the human costs behind a headline.

The screening will be followed by a discussion in the presence of co-director Bernard Weber.
