“So us journalists are very much outraged given [the documentary’s] complete lack of balance,” Gonzaga Muganwa, from the privately owned news magazine Rwanda Dispatch, told me. “However, this doesn’t mean the suspension of the BBC is right either.”

The main bone of contention raised by locals and foreigners alike was the documentary’s exclusive focus on the research of two American academics that claim far more Hutus died in the genocide than Tutsis.
