Shooting Dogs
Synopsis
Shooting Dogs is a gripping and emotional story of two men's struggle for survival when caught up in one of the most brutal genocides of the twentieth century.
John Hurt plays Christopher, a priest who forges a friendship with Joe (Hugh Dancy), a young teacher. Together they have to confront the limits of their courage as they decide whether to stay or leave in the face of the 1994 Rwandan tragedy. The film explores the powerful dilemma of peacekeepers caught up in a dangerous world, where they feel powerless to act effectively - an exceptionally timely and resonant story.
