Rwanda & Juliet
Directed by: Ben Proudfoot
Run Time: 87 minutes
Synopsis: Rwanda & Juliet is a documentary that follows eccentric Ivy League professor emeritus Andrew Garrod to Kigali, Rwanda, where he mounts Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet with Rwandan college students from Hutu and Tutsi backgrounds. Twenty years have passed since the 1994 Genocide that left 1,000,000 Tutsis dead. Predominantly orphans, the cast of young Rwandans, led by a stunning, strong-headed Juliet, tackles their country's past and their own futures as hopes, pasts, personalities and cultures collide and opening night approaches.
