Arriving in the United States with nothing as a refugee, Charles Mwumvaneza has labored for years to have his incredible story heard. An unusual survivor of the infamous Rwandan genocide of 1994, Charles was marked for death and persecuted by individuals on both sides of the country's civil war. Though he opposed the artificial division of his country by colonialists into fictitious "tribes", Charles nevertheless possessed features from both groups. As members of Rwanda's Tutsi minority were exterminated by the thousands, Charles' hometown became a killing field as he and his wife Jeanne were hunted and chased for weeks on end by armed militias, their home and family destroyed. Charles was forced to rely on unlikely allies, torturous hiding places, and his newly-rediscovered faith in order to stay alive, desperate to outlast the genocide and reunite what remained of his family. After a shocking series of tragedies and miracles, he reaches safety at the U.N. controlled National Stadium. But at what cost? Charles discovers that for some, the end of the genocide doesn't mean the end of injustice, and that the narrative forced by the media and by politicians does not always reflect reality. I SAW THE DEVIL, I SAW GOD is a disturbing but true look into human atrocities and international politics. But it is also a story of hope and faith; of God's mercy and human kindness shining forth in a place overwhelmed by evil.
