The gruesome images that made their way out of Rwanda during the summer months of 1994 are indelibly etched into all of our minds. Over a million people were killed while the world looked on and ultimately did nothing. In a media atmosphere where the world's attention shifts rapidly away from tragedy almost as soon as it ends, Rwanda in 1994 has stuck with us.

But what has happened in this small, landlocked country since then? Exactly seventeen years have now passed since the genocide occurred, and Rwanda has managed to maintain a semblance of stability, avoiding the crises that its neighbors have endured. What is the reason for this? How has this country reconciled its past, and how do victims and perpetrators alike live together in the present?

Charles Annenberg Weingarten and the explore.org Team traveled to Rwanda to answer that very question. The film that resulted from the trip, Raindrops Over Rwanda, focuses on the Kigali Memorial Centre and a young man who survived the genocide and now serves as the Centre's head guide. Link TV is bringing you the world broadcast premiere of Raindrops Over Rwanda on Monday, 5pm PT/8pm ET and Wednesday at 8pm PT/11pm ET.

Kigali Memorial Centre is more than just a museum. It is a focal point for honoring the anonymous dead, a communal cemetery for a country where there were too many bodies for most to be identified. It is a space for the community to come together for reconciliation and healing. It is a way to remember the past in the hopes that it will never be repeated.

For most foreigners experiencing the memorial for the first time, Honoré Gatera is the guide, teacher, storyteller, and historian all in one. Honoré is our guide in this film as well, providing a first person perspective on genocide that few people in the world are able to give.

After explore.org's trip to Rwanda, Honoré came to the United States for the very first time and sat down with Charlie at Link TV headquarters for a memorable interview. Stay tuned after the film as we bring you this exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how the movie was made, as well as Honoré's experiences and unique worldview. Survivors like Honoré, and the Rwandan people in general, have the ability to teach the world not only about how to avoid genocide, but also how to heal and forgive in order to live together in the future.

TAKE ACTION: Join the community on Facebook to help explore.org raise $50,000 for the Kigali Memorial Center (featured in the film).

Watch a promo for Raindrops Over Rwanda (airing Monday, 5pm PT/8pm ET):

Howard Zinn died of a heart attack today in Santa Monica, California, marking the end of an extraordinary life that championed civil rights and the antiwar movement. Dr. Zinn made frequent appearances on Link TV, whether through interviews on Democracy Now! or in documentaries such as Howard Zinn: You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train or The Corporation.  With the publication of his best-selling book A People's History of the United States and in his years of teaching political science at Boston University, Dr. Zinn inspired a new generation of activists, all eager to learn about our world's unheard voices and untold stories.

We at Link TV salute you, Dr. Zinn. May you rest in peace.

We leave you with this video from our friends at Democracy Now! of one of Dr. Zinn's recent public appearances, where the prominent historian speaks on the topic of America's "Holy Wars" with his characteristic energy, wry humor and incisive commentary. With the attitude that no history is sacrosanct, and no fact must go unquestioned, Dr. Zinn urges us to "reexamine the idea that there is any such thing as a good war." Fitting words by which to remember this legend.
