Christopher Vourlias Rwandan director Kivu Ruhorahoza’s “Father’s Day,” which bows in the competitive Encounters strand of the Berlin Film Festival, is a timely story of fatherhood in a country that saw a generation orphaned by one of the worst atrocities of the 20th century.The film presents a trio of interwoven stories set in the East African nation.
A mother tries to cope with the loss of her only son. A young woman prepares for an organ donation that could save the life of a father who she never truly loved.
And a young boy roams the city with his father, a small-time crook with anger management issues, who introduces him to a hustler’s life.Though it is not a film about the Rwandan genocide, said Ruhorahoza, as is so often the case in a country still reeling from that bloody period, the genocide and its lingering trauma provide the backdrop for the on-screen drama.
The 1994 genocide saw more than 800,000 Rwandans — mostly from the minority Tutsi ethnic group — murdered by ethnic Hutu extremists.
