As part of the recovery from the genocide of 1994 there are continual programmes to create reconciliation between perpatrators and victims.  They came ot realise that new generations were holding on to the trauma, pain, anger and resentments and needed to be addressed.  This image represents the importance of these programmes for the happiness of new generations. Interspersed are small images of the individual stories and roles of the genocide, as ghosts that will always remain but do not control them.
