Loved the movie, just wished it was longer.

This is a great story, and a great find. I just wish the film followed what happened to the principle characters after the film (which is probably impossible unless you have a time machine) but perhaps that will be a DVD extra...

These people went through so much in Rwanda, and saw/did unspeakable things. It's so sad and heart breaking, though amazing that there is so much forgiveness in the people of Rwanda. Also that you don't need a lot in life to be happy and that we are truly lucky (or spoiled) here in the United States.

Hat off to Chris, Leah, and Todd for keeping with it. I know going back and forth to Rwanda couldn't have been easy (or fun) in any way. All three of you put your heart and soul into this film and it shows.

Brilliant Portrait of Rwanda's Emerging Film Industry

FINDING HILLWOOD chronicles the lives of several artists who are building Rwanda's film industry from the ground up. As these heroes tackle personal challenges, their country's limited resources, and the legacy of the 1994 genocide, they create art that inspires and entertains and ultimately heals the wounds of their homeland.

The film showcases the work of several Rwandan film-makers--Ayuub, Eric, and Nicole, among others--all of whom deserve a wide audience.

FINDING HILLYWOOD's director Leah Warshawski captures the frustrations inherent in bringing films to rural people who have never seen a movie before. As barefoot crowds endure rainstorms and power failures in order to watch THEIR stories on an inflatable screen, the viewer sees, and feels,the absolute magic of cinema.
