Shake Hands With the Devil, Peter Raymont’s haunting story of UN General Romeo Dallaire’s return to Rwanda 10 years after he led a peace-keeping force there during the genocide, and God Sleeps in Rwanda by Kimberlee Acquaro and Stacy Sherman, the story of women rebuilding their lives and country in the genocide’s aftermath, were co-presented with the Emmy Award for Best Documentary by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences at yesterday’s News & Documentary Awards presentation. Raymont’s film was broadcast on The Documentary Channel and the Acquarno/Sherman film appeared on Cinemax Reel Life. See the full list of award winners. PBS was the clear network winner with a whopping 9 awards for shows produced for public television.

I’d be curious, if any of my readers were at the ceremony, to hear what the comments were about co-honoring these films about the Rwandan genocide?
