Belgian director Marion Hänsel's feature Si le vent soulève les sables unfolds in a desert village that is being crushed under the weight of drought (which has dried the local well out completely) and decaying livestock. Though the majority of the populace migrates to the south in an essential quest for a better life, Rahne -- the only literate indigene -- cuts against the grain, journeying to the east despite the danger of imminent war that lies in this direction. Accompanying him are his wife Mouna, his three children, a handful of sheep, and a few goats. The journey carries them across bellicose territory under a relentless sun, and finds the determined family struggling to survive at all costs. During the trek, they pull a great deal of strength from one of the children, the nomadic Shasha, whose exuberance and optimism cannot be quelled. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

When the Hutu nationalists raised arms against their Tutsi countrymen in the African nation of Rwanda in April of 1994, the violent uprising marked the beginning of one of the darkest times in African history. Over the course of the next 100 days, brother would turn against brother, tearing families apart and resulting in the death of almost 800,000 people. Based on actual events that occurred during the uprising, Raoul Peck's affecting war drama tells the tale of two such brothers, whose differing loyalties found them on opposing sides of the conflict, and whose lives would never be the same following this tragic turn of events. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
