Munyurangabo — a film made by the Korean-born American filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung with the help of Rwandans— follows Sangwa, a prodigal son of the Hutu people, and his friend ‘Ngabo, a boy from the Tutsi people. As you can imagine, their trek across the blood-drenched of Rwanda’s civil war tests their loyalty to each other, and when vengeful intentions come to light, the story seems hell-bent for a disastrous, violent conclusion. (Call it The Straight Story’s opposite.) Nevertheless, the journeys of Sangwa and ‘Ngabo become a mournful and beautiful work of art that inspired Roger Ebert to call it “a masterpiece.” – Jeffrey Overstreet
