Shooting Dogs (DVD)

Joe Connor has come to teach in Rwanda during his ‘gap’ year because he believes he can make a difference. When the school becomes a haven for thousands of Rwandans fleeing the genocide, Joe promises his brightest pupil, Marie, that the UN soldiers will protect her from the hordes of extremist militia baying for blood outside the school.

But when the UN abandon the refugees, Joe and the school’s headmaster, Father Christopher, face an agonising dilemma: should they leave or should they stand firm with the Rwandans. As the UN trucks force their way through the terrified refugees, Joe stares at the tear-stained face of Marie: what should he do? What would you do?

Based on real events and filmed at the actual location where this story took place, Shooting Dogs is an emotionally gripping, authentic and powerful recreation of a tragic real life story that took place during the Rwandan genocide in 1994. A number of Rwandan survivors of the genocide were involved in the making the film as actors and crew members.
