Yes, this is an angry poem
yes, this is a tired poem
tired of sitting in classes and feeling like a wall-
poem
this is a poem that doesn’t bring up Cassavetes to feel important
this is a poem that never saw a Cassavetes film before coming to “school”
this is a poem that likes Love and Basketball
and wants to write for television
this is a sell-out poem
this is a black woman poem
a poem for my grandmothers who never saw themselves
reflected onscreen in their lifetime- poem

Opening December 2 in select cities through AFFRM, “Kinyarwanda” is the Sundance 2011 Audience Award Winner for World Drama. In Alrick Brown’s moving directorial feature debut, a young Tutsi woman and a young Hutu man fall in love amidst chaos, a soldier struggles to foster a greater good while absent from her family, and a priest grapples with his faith in the face of unspeakable horror. Six intimate stories are interwoven to illustrate both tragedy and triumph.
