Harrowing drama set during the Rwandan genocide in 1994.

Joe Connor (Hugh Dancy) is a British schoolteacher who takes up a teaching post and arrives in the Rwandan capital just as ethnic and tribal tensions start to increase between the Hutu and Tutsi groups. As the growing tensions starts to spill into the corridors of his school, Joe strikes up a friendship with Catholic priest Father Christopher (John Hurt), who has come to the country as a missionary.

When violence erupts in the country, Joe's school becomes the base for a Belgian peacekeeping force, and along with Father Christopher, Joe decides to remain behind and use the school as a refuge for the persecuted Tutsis - until the Belgian soldiers leave, and they are all put in terrible danger.

Drama following the burgeoning relationship of two people who have suffered family tragedies. When Jake (Dan Fredenburgh) returns home after the death of his father, he strikes up an immediate friendship with B (Doraly Rosa). B also has a family catastrophe to deal with - her husband, Chester (Paul Bettany), has suffered a stroke and, though still alive, will most likely be crippled for life. Further complicating matters, Jake is engaged to the enthusiastic but preoccupied Zoe (Olivia Williams). As Jake and B become closer, the two couples face tough decisions about their future and struggle to find a balance between their own desires and the reluctance to hold back or harm a loved one.
