Revisiting the memories and aftermaths of the 1994 genocide is Rwanda & Juliet, a new Canadian documentary, that borrows heavily from William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The production tells the story of unity and reconciliation as reflected amongst today’s youth.
The 88-minute long film is directed and produced by Ben Proudfoot, a Canadian, the alumnus of the University of California in Los Angeles’s School of Cinematic Arts, and founder of Breakwater Studios, established in 2012.
