Munyurangabo

DVD 2009

After stealing a machete from a market in Kigali, Munyurangabo and his friend, Sangwa, leave the city on a journey tied to their pasts. Munyurangabo wants justice for his parents who were killed in the genocide, and Sangwa wants to visit the home he deserted years ago. From two separate tribes, their friendship is tested when Sangwa's wary parents disapprove of Munyurangabo, warning that 'Hutus and Tutsis are supposed to be enemies.'
