Munyurangabo

I just want to give a quick blast to a movie I watched the other day, Munyurangabo. It's a great movie and I hope more people get to see it. It did not come out in American movie theaters, only film festivals, so those interested will need to find it on DVD. It was made in Rwanda with an all Rwandan cast and staff other than the American director, Lee Isaac Chung and deals with relations after the genocide and redemption.
As a poet one of my favorite parts was when the poet, Edouard Uwayo delivered his own inspiring poem to the audience, breaking the fourth wall in an inspiring way. I would describe more however I wouldn't want to give away the plot or what happens in the film for those who see it.
