Part 8/12:
Central to the narrative are the personal stories of the speakers and their family’s struggle. Their father, Paul Rusesabagina, was kidnapped in 2020, falsely accused of terrorism, and held in solitary confinement for over a year—an apparent move to silence his activism. His case exemplifies how regimes use judicial systems as tools of repression, punishing dissent under fabricated charges. The speakers describe their painstaking efforts to advocate for his release, raising awareness and confronting propaganda campaigns that try to tarnish his reputation.
