Trees of Peace is a heartfelt film from 2022, beautifully written and directed by Alanna Brown, marking her directorial debut. The story shines a light on the incredible strength of four women—Eliane Umuhire, Charmaine Bingwa, Bola Koleosho, and Ella Cannon. They portray two Tutsi women, a Hutu moderate, and an American volunteer, who find themselves hiding together in a small space beneath a house for 81 days during the harrowing events of the 1994 Rwandan genocide. With a runtime of 98 minutes, this engaging English-language film offers a poignant exploration of resilience and hope.
