Plot
A minivan transporting ordinary citizens is stopped on a Burundian dirt road. With force a band of Hutu rebels armed with Kalashnikovs get the passengers off. The rebel leader barks:"Hutus to the left, Tutsis to the right!". The sorting fails as all hurry to the left and neither passengers nor rebels can distinguish Hutus from Tutsis.
Accolades
The film received the Special Jury Award – Honourable Mention at the 20th Flickerfest. On January 25, 2011, it was nominated for the Academy Award for Live Action Short Film at the 83rd Academy Awards.
