Netflix released the trailer for the upcoming film Trees of Peace, written and directed by Alanna Brown.In what will be Brown’s directorial debut, the film is inspired by a true story, and is an intense and beautiful journey that focuses on the importance of human connection.“The Rwandan women who persevered beyond this genocide struck such a chord with me,” Brown stated. “Their story is specific, but the themes of inner turmoil and forgiveness are incredibly universal.
I am grateful to Netflix for giving Trees of Peace the platform to touch so many people, which was the dream when I set out to make it eight years ago.
Many thanks also to our unyielding producing team, led by Ron Ray, our phenomenal actors, and every department head, who were instrumental in bringing this story to light as powerfully as possible.”After winning the top three jury prizes at the American Black Film Festival – including the John Singleton Award for “Best First Feature” – Trees of Peace was picked up by the popular digital streaming platform for worldwide distribution.
When it premiered in 2021, the film received the top jury award at the Santa Barbara Film Festival.“I haven’t stopped thinking about this film for over eight years, when I first read the real story that inspired it,” Brown said. “I wrote the script and molded the characters to reflect the true events of this genocide, as well as the collective spirit within all of us.
