Local directors Todd Soliday and Leah Warshawski award-winning documentary, Finding Hillywood chronicles one man’s road to forgiveness, his effort to heal his country, and the realization that we all must one day face our past. Created by local directors Leah Warshawski and Todd Soliday, the film functions as a Rwandan history lesson and also reveals the power of film as a catalyst for cultural healing. Finding Hillywood introduces the key people who set the beginning of Rwanda’s film industry (nicknamed Hillywood for the country’s rolling hills) in motion. The film’s final act takes a inspirational final turn as Hillywood connects the people of Rwanda by seeing their culture represented on the biggest screen available. 2013
