Emory Department of Global Health professor and director of the Rwanda Zambia HIV Research Group, Susan Allen, hosts January 24-26 a workshop "Killers Among Us: The Continuing Search for Justice in the Rwanda Genocide."

The workshop, which includes panel discussions, film screenings, and lectures, features one of Rwanda's top filmmakers Eric Kabera, director of the award-winning film, "Keepers of Memory," presented at the Atlanta Film Festival in 2006 and producer of the 2001, film "100 Days." He is also the founder of the Rwanda Cinema Centre, which hosts "Hillywood," a series of films screened in rural areas with the use of portable inflatable screens.

The event also features panel discussions and lectures by human rights activists, Rakiya Omaar and Gregory Gordon. Omaar, a human rights lawyer and director of the international non-profit Africa Rights, chronicles the 1994 genocide from inside Rwanda in her book, Death, Despair, and Defiance. Her books and reports have served as the basis for the arrests of a number of the top masterminds of the Rwanda genocide.

Gregory Gordon, an expert on war crimes prosecution, worked with the Office of the Prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda where he served as legal officer and deputy team leader. He currently teaches at the University of North Dakota in the areas of criminal law, criminal procedure, and international human rights law.
