Through interactive crossroads, viewers are given choices about which aspects of the story to explore further and how deep to dive into the subject. Using archival material, court records, governmental documents and testimonies, viewers gain a deeper understanding of Rwanda's dark history, as well as contemporary reconciliation efforts.
