Birds Are Singing in Kigali
- 7PM
How does one go on living following unthinkable trauma? In the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide, two women—a Tutsi refugee (Umuhire) and the Polish ornithologist (Budnik) who helped smuggle her out of the country—each embark on profound emotional journeys as they try to come to terms with the brutality they witnessed. Searing, unflinching, but tinged with hope, this heartrending study of grief and healing is as formally adventurous as it is affecting.
