Great Movie with Different Perspectives on Rwandan Genocide
Kinyarwanda, which was directed by Alrick Brown, is a movie that takes places during the Rwandan Genocide. Throughout the movie, we watch a few different perspectives from different types of people during the genocide. Some include the leader of a mosque and a little girl whose parents were both killed for being tutsis. The film is very inspiring as it shows people of different beliefs coming together to protect each other. At one point in the movie, the leader of the mosque opens up the doors to his mosque as a refuge for those being targeted by the Hutus including even Christians. The director did an excellent job of bringing different people together at the end, but the movie was a little confusing as it switched from the present to flashbacks without differentiating the two very well and only becoming clear after watching the movie. Overall, Alrick Brown does an amazing job of mixing his global perspectives into the film that has allowed me to see the Rwandan Genocide through someone else's eyes. I believe this film deserves an 8/10 rating because it was very insightful and interesting to watch.
