Birds Are Singing in Kigali

Anna, a Polish ornithologist, is in Africa in 1994 just as genocide is raging in Rwanda, perpetrated by the majority Hutus against the Tutsis. Anna manages to save the daughter of a colleague whose family has been murdered, and she takes her to Poland. As both deal with the traumas they have witnessed, they must try and find some sort of redemption.

In writing the film, the filmmakers were inspired by their own time living in Africa. Krzysztof Krauze passed away mid-production and Joanna Kos-Krauze completed the film.

Filmography: Papusza (2013), Saviour Square (2006), My Nikifor (2004).
