Sweet Dreams

documentary

Nice doc on a group of women, survivors of the genocide in Rwanda who decide to open an ice cream shop. At the time there were none in the entire country. They start by forming a drumming group...an activity traditionally forbidden to women. This gives them a focus other than their suffering and an identity beyond their normal lives.

The film deals with the aftermath, social and emotional, of horrific behavior that tore the country apart. The survivors have to do something to try and cope...even though they still suffer the effects their project gives them each other and hope for the future.

Good job.
