About the show

59 E 59 presents a political thriller about a New York Times journalist and his exclusive interview with two Hutu nuns charged with homicide during the Rwandan genocide. More…

Commemorating the 21st anniversary of the atrocity, this is a story of forgiveness, faith and truth in the face of unspeakable horror. Disgraced journalist Charles arrives in Rwanda to meet the nuns, who must convince the world of their innocence during the 1994 genocide or face a lifetime in prison. When an unknown survivor contradicts their story, Charles must choose which version of the truth to tell the world. 'Sense of an Ending' shines a light on questions of faith and responsibility in the face of violence.
