A record of the Rwandan genocide that refuses to look away.  

We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families moves between reportage, testimony and historical reconstruction, tracking how ordinary structures—radio, bureaucracy, neighbourly life—became instruments of mass killing.

Gourevitch is a top tier reporter; there’s no softening here, but there is precision: an attempt to understand how violence organises itself, how language prepares it, and how people continue to live inside its aftermath. One of those rare works of journalism that doesn’t age into “context”—it stays active, unsettling, and uncomfortably present.
