Birds Are Singing in Kigali (Polish: Ptaki śpiewają w Kigali) is a 2017 Polish drama film directed by Joanna Kos-Krauze and Krzysztof Krauze.[2][3] The film tells the story of a Polish ornithologist who saves a Tutsi girl from certain death. Kos-Krauze completed the film after her husband died mid-production in 2014.[3]
The Polish ornithologist Anna Keller (Jowita Budnik) conducts research on vultures in Rwanda. Meanwhile, the conflict between the two population groups living in this country - Tutsi and Hutu, turns into the Tutsi genocide. Keller saves a young Rwandan (Eliane Umuhire) and takes her with him to Poland. It is a film about the power of nature, friendship and forgiveness.[4]
