Multimedia. Rwanda: 10 Years Later

This multimedia project is striking mainly for the photos of massacre and recovery in Rwanda. One of my favorite images is the dark face of a woman with tens of portraits of victims of the 1994 killings shown at the background. The multimedia creates a powerful image of a country that was little known to me before I saw this presentation.

But multimedia projects also have weaknesses. There is hardly enough time to read the captions when the slideshow is on, and while the reporter’s voice, together with the photos, competes for one’s attention. I had to go back to this presentation and watch it a few times – a luxury that few of NYTimes.com users can afford.
