Imbabazi: The Pardon is a 2013 Rwandan film, written and directed by Joël Karekezi in his feature film debut.

Imbabazi: The Pardon was made on a low budget, with actors performing for free, and shot in Uganda.[2] The film grew out of Karekezi's earlier short film, The Pardon (2009), which won the Golden Impala Award at the Amakula Film Festival. It received a development award from Gothenburg Film Festival,[3] where it premiered on 28 January 2013. It was also shown at San Diego Black Film Festival, Pan African Film Festival, Fespaco and Seattle International Film Festival 2013.[2]
