Join us at 7pm on Tuesday, April 18 for Sweet Dreams.
The 2012 documentary Sweet Dreams is about the people of Rwanda who in 1994 experienced a genocide in which over 500,000 Tutsi were killed and the country severely traumatized, including members of the first and only female drumming troupe, Ingoma Nshya, which means “new drum” or “new kingdom.” Ingoma Nshya’s founder, theater director Odile “Kike” Katese, intended the troupe to usher in a new chapter of support, healing and reconciliation.
When in 2009 Kiki meets the two proprietors of Brooklyn’s Blue Marble Ice Cream, Jennie Dundas and Alexis Galllivan, it occurs to her that this delicious, fun, and joyous dessert, could help Rwandans discover how to live happily again. She asks if they can help her open Rwanda’s first local ice cream shop, to be named Inzoni Nziza – Sweet Dreams – a cooperative to be founded by the drummers.
