SCHOOL SCREENING: Petit Pays/Small Country: An African Childhood

Tuesday 26th April, 2022 - 10:00

Brand new French language film set against the backdrop of the Rwandan conflict. Gabriel is a happy young boy living in Burundi during the 1990s with his French father, Rwandan mother, and his younger sister. They live a relatively sheltered and privileged life, until his world is turned upside down as violence and unrest spills over from neighbouring Rwanda. This powerful tale, based on a true story and adapted from the best-selling original novel , explores the  topics of ethnic tensions and identity through the eyes of a young boy, of both French and Rwandan heritage, just struggling to make sense of it all.
