Audience Member Channeling Hotel Rwanda , director Ivan Goldschmidt's short film places us in Africa in the midst of a civil war. The short follows a bus of seemingly unrelated people who are stopped by African rebels. Na Wewe's entirety focuses on the rebels sorting out the Hutus and the Tutsis. With practically no character development, it is ultimately difficult to engage in any pathos whatsoever. Goldschmidt is essentially giving an eye-opener to this ongoing conflict, but the lack of character connection results in ineffective exposure. Its melodramatic ending involving a "U2 song," tops off the lack of emotion in this 2011 Oscar nominee. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Empathy, forgiveness, compassion - all of these things come in to play in this Oscar nominated short film. Very well made.

Plus the slip of the toungue that allows them to escape is pretty stupid. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Music can make the difference!! A striking short film on a tough time. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member All very tense and on edge. Well armed Hutus including young boys stop a van of passengers and at gun point question them all to see if any are from the Tutsis tribe, their bitter enemy. A white Belgium witnesses it all. At first I expected it to turn bloody quickly, but each member of the transport comes up with some other tribe or nationality to claim and the leader of this band of Hutus is unexpectedly humane. A film with the message that there is rarely such a thing as racial or ethnic purity anymore and that when the "enemy" becomes a person conflicts can be bridged.
