This is a filmography for films and artistry on the graphic, theatrical and conventional, documental portrayal of the Rwanda genocide against the Tutsi in 1994. In 2005 Alison Des Forges wrote that eleven years after the genocide films for popular audiences on the subject greatly increased "widespread realization of the horror that had taken the lives of more than half a million Tutsi".
