Primary
The film's central message is a universal condemnation of genocide and a call for human empathy and intervention, balancing the critique of international systemic failure with the celebration of individual moral courage, thus aligning with a neutral stance on the political spectrum.
The film features a diverse cast that authentically represents the Rwandan population and the historical context of the genocide. Its narrative subtly critiques the inaction of international bodies and Western powers, without explicitly centering on the negative portrayal of traditional identities.
Secondary

While it implicitly critiques the inaction of some Christian-majority nations and institutions during the genocide, the narrative champions universal values of compassion, human dignity, and self-sacrifice, which are often aligned with Christian teachings. The film focuses on the failure of individuals and the international community, not the faith.
