Phil W. Bayles One Room With A View The presentation may be a touch saccharine for some to swallow, but it's hard not to get swept up in Rwanda & Juliet by the end. It's a wonderfully optimistic story... Rated: 4/5 Apr 1, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Directed by Halifax NS filmmaker Ben Proudfoot, it chronicles the staging of a production of 'Romeo & Juliet' in said African country twenty years after the genocide that left a million Rwandans dead. Gorgeously photographed, it offers an uplifting message about reconciliation while still asking tough questions about the true motivation behind the production and the larger issue of Western guilt over its failure to aid the Rwandan people two decades ago. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
