Colorado Committee on Africa and the Caribbean FILM SCREENING AFRICA (RWANDA) ** Sunday, July 28 2:00 pm The Mercury Cafe 2199 California St. *KINYARWANDA* * Film Director Alrick Brown presents the Rwandan genocide through the prism of ordinary men, women and children, both Hutus and Tutsis, who experienced that horrendous event. He has created a mosaic of interconnected vignettes that portray complexities and contradictions, such as expressions of compassion as well as anger and hatred; members of the two groups who protect rather than kill each other; and the process of reconciliation and forgiveness. * We meet a military man who hopes to bring peace; a Catholic priest troubled by the horrendous situation; a small boy named Ishmael; a Muslim cleric who forbids his followers to kill anyone; a young Tutsi woman and a young Hutu man who fall in love amidst the chaos. *In English and Kinyarwanda. 99 minutes.* *Winner of the 2011 Sundance Film Festival Audience Award.* *$5 suggested donation* *Co-sponsored by the Colorado Committee on Africa and the Caribbean and the Service Learning Center at Regis University.* *For information: (303) 329-5881* *Please visit their website:* *tinyurl/coloradocommittee*
