Birds Are Singing in Kigali
In1994, we meet ornithologist Anna just as Rwanda is engulfed in genocide, perpetrated by the majority Hutus against the Tutsis. Anna is able to save a colleague's daughter, whose family has been slain, and she transports her to Poland. However, the woman returns to Rwanda to pay her respects to the graves of her loved ones. The director began working on the film alongside her husband, Krzysztof Krauze (My Nikifor – Crystal Globe, KVIFF2005), but following his death in2014, she completed it by herself.
