Film: Munyurangabo/Liberation Day

Korean-American filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung's extraordinary cross-cultural feature debut was filmed in Rwanda with a cast of nonprofessionals in just 11 days. A post-genocidal story of the friendship of two young men from different tribal backgrounds, this is the first film ever made in the language of Kinyarwanda and makes strategic use of Rwandan music and recited poetry.

97 minutes. In Kinyarwanda with English subtitles
