While Hotel Rwanda is politically very controversial, Trees of Peace isn't. From the harrowing experience of hiding three months in a cave (that's where us viewers are taken), writer, director and actresses have created a humanist picture of the genocide. What it was, how it was perpetrated and the devastating consequences on Rwandan society, 1 million deaths. A breathtaking account for a multicultural society working toward peace.

This was a great film to watch. The actors were amazing and delivered intended emotions clearly. The plot was also great - as a viewer who's unfamiliar with the history of Rwanda, this was an eye-opener and a reminder that history is not that far away.

One of the most harrowing movies you will ever see, inspiring viewers to curl up into a tight ball, both physically and emotionally, but its power is undeniable and its rewards are many.

Rated: 3.5/4

It's interesting to note that the film doesn't bother to explain why the Hutu hate the Tutsi. The answer is obvious as it is for all prejudices: There is no good reason.

Rated: 3/5

Set during the 1990s Rwanda genocide, director Alanna Brown's devastating drama centers on four women trapped in a hiding place and struggling to stay alive amid mass slaughter in the streets. The impact the violence has on the women is heartbreaking.

A love letter to the resilience of the Rwandan women who found ways to not only survive, but to rebuild their countries from the ashes.

Movie Nation

A compact, tense, well-acted and quietly gripping story of endurance...in cinematic shorthand, it is “Hotel Rwanda,” with its story and characters packed into Hitchcock’s “Lifeboat.”

Rated: 2.5/4
