Black Earth Rising
On BBC Two
A tense, psychologically interior thriller about a genocide survivor haunted by conspiracy and complicity, grappling with justice and the inescapability of historical trauma.
As a child, Kate Ashby was rescued from the horrific aftermath of the Rwandan genocide and brought to the UK. But the tragic shadow of her past proves impossible to escape.
