Summary:

In 1994, at an intersection of roads from Uganda to Tanzania and from Kenya via Rwanda to Zaire, some half a million refugees from Tutsi-Hutu violence streamed in to create boom town called Benaco. The newcomers--whose roles in the Rwandan genocide are unknown--mean big business and a wave of petty crime. A single white wedding dress, rented out to refugee brides, becomes an emblem of innocence and hope that is long gone from the drawn faces of Rwandan orphans.
