April 1994 was the start of the Rwandan genocide, 100 days of slaughter, rape and atrocities.
As part of the Tutsi ethnic group, Antoinette Mutabazi’s family were a target for the killings.
So her father told her to run, leaving her family behind. She was just 11 years old.
As a survivor of the genocide, she speaks publicly about reconciliation and forgiveness. She tells Rosie Blunt her story.
