The film will be released in AFFRM’s founding markets: Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Seattle.

KINYARWANDA is the first film conceived within Rwanda and produced by Rwandans regarding the 1994 genocide that saw one million lives lost in 100 days. Writer/director Alrick Brown’s compelling feature directorial debut also garnered the Sundance Film Festival 2011 Audience Award in the World Cinema Drama category this year, and captured the Grand Prize at the lauded Skip City Film Festival in Japan. In KINYARWANDA, the storyline interweaves six true tales into one epic narrative, confronting the realities of forgiveness in the face of vengeance. In the movie a young Tutsi woman and a young Hutu man fall in love amidst chaos, a soldier struggles with being absent from her family to foster a greater good, and a priest grapples with his faith in the face of unspeakable horror. The Hollywood Reporter stated, “Brown presents these personal and heartbreaking stories with steadfast compassion.” For ticket information visit: http://www.movietickets.com/pre_purchase.asp?house_id=963&movie_id=108638&rdate=12/2/2011 AMC Phipps Plaza Theaters show times for KINYARWANDA are currently:10:45am,1:30pm,4:10pm, 7:00pm, and 9:45pm.
