Made up of women from both sides of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, the drumming troupe offers a place of support, healing and reconciliation. And when they partner with two young American entrepreneurs on the ice cream shop, they embark on a journey of independence, peace and possibility. In English and Kinyarwanda with English subtitles.
