Father's Day
Part of the Postcards From The Edge Strand
Cutting across class lines, this lyrical drama follows three interconnecting stories in contemporary Rwanda. Beautician Zaninka has recently lost her son, Mukobwa is a young, educated woman grappling with her familial legacy and Kadogo is a sensitive boy getting toughened on the streets. Driven by its faith that the strength of women is key to emotional healing and progress, Father’s Day considers the damage of patriarchal systems and explores generational trauma with nuance and sensitivity, ringing with a provocative truth.
