I know quite a few teachers who have shown all or parts of the theatrical production Hotel Rwanda as part of a lesson on violence caused ethnic conflict. Raindrops Over Rwanda could be a good resource for providing an overview of the conflict in Rwanda in 1994. One word of caution, some of the images in Raindrops Over Rwanda might not be appropriate for students younger than high school age.
