Our take

Before the Oscar®-winning success of Minari, Lee Isaac Chung headed to East Africa for Munyurangabo, a thrilling coming-of-age tale of inter-tribal friendship. The first feature made in Kinyarwanda—the official language of Rwanda—this beautiful, multiple-award winner is a one-of-a-kind triumph.
