Saturday I went to go see Kinyarwanda’s private VIP screening. This was made by Alrick Brown who happens to be a Plainfield resident and graduate from Plainfield High School. The movie was about the 1994 Genocide in Rwanda and how the mosques became places of refuge where Muslims and Christians, Hutus and Tutsis came together to protect each other.
This movie is different then most. It is a collection of 6 short films weaved into one to create one picture and some how all of the vignettes connected magically. The different viewpoints that collapsed into a single movie made the ending more unpredictable and it made you think, and feel – laugh and yes – cry!
I would like to ask anyone who has Facebook to lookup the “KINYARWANDA” page and select “Like” because if it gets enough publicity it has a better chance of getting out in theaters. This is a great movie for families, students and communities; so you guys log onto "KINYARWANDA" via Facebook and click “like” so that you can get a chance to see the film in a theater near you!
Here's a picture of me and Director Brown. He was very gracious to allow me this photo op!
