Synopsis of The Last Dog in Rwanda
A boy who spends his days playing with toy soldiers grows up to photograph real ones in action in this short comedy-drama from news photographer turned filmmaker Jens Assur. As a child, David was captivated by images of war, and could spend hours playing with models of tanks and aircraft that he'd built, or fighting pretend battles with his friends. In 1994, at the age of 24, David is no less obsessed with war, and has learned to make a living from his preoccupation by working as a photojournalist. David is sent to Rwanda with Mats, a reporter, to cover the bloody civil conflict between the Hutus and the Tutsis, and together the men find themselves both engrossed by the drama unfolding around them and appalled by the human toll this particular conflict has taken upon the people of Rwanda. Den Sista Hunden I Rwanda (aka The Last Dog In Rwanda was screened as part of the short film series as the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
