| Alick Brown, Screen Writer Director Rutgers Alum |
Yesterday I was sent an article in the latest installment of Rutgers FOCUS and was excited to learn about Alrick Brown, a Rutgers Alum clearly on the rise to fame. (I must admit, the fact that he is Jamaican added additional excitement, shout out to all of my yardies).
Alrick Brown, screen writer, director, and part-time lecture, will have the honor of showcasing his latest film, "Kinyarwanda", at the Sundance Film Festival. This film, based on true accounts, depicts the lives of several Rwandans as they cross cultural and religious barriers to protect and save the lives of others during the 1994 genocides. When asked in the FOCUS to describe the film, Brown explained,
“It’s a story not many people know about,” Brown said in a telephone interview shortly before leaving for the Utah-based festival. “While many films have shown the politics and death during the genocide, Kinyarwanda is a movie about life, faith, forgiveness, and reconciliation.” Kudos to you Mr. Alrick Brown!!!! We wish you nothing but success SIR.
