Brussels Premiere: The Things We Don't Say + Q&A

Synopsis: 30 years after the genocide that tore apart their mothers’ worlds, a group of young Rwandans confront the family secrets and the wounds their generation is carrying. They are led by Emilienne, a therapist and genocide survivor, to try to break cycles of intergenerational trauma together.

The Things We Don’t Say will be screened in Brussels for the first time, the city where director Ornella Mutoni spent her early years as a refugee after the genocide. This special screening marks the film’s Brussels premiere and will be followed by an in-depth Q&A with Ornella Mutoni, opening into a wider conversation with the audience about memory, silence, and healing.

The screening and discussion will be hosted by Brandon Butare in the Auditorium at Wiels.
