When Switzerland became involved in Ruanda in the 1960s, it entailed a dangerous game with the power elite from the start. It was the genocide of 800'000 people in 1994, however, that led to a rethinking of development aid. The film offers those involved at that time a chance to speak, as well as examining further the question of whether doing good always does good.
