The Night of Truth

In her poetic and visually stunning feature debut, director Fanta Régina Nacro has no qualms about portraying extreme violence while leading her story to an unexpected bid for peace. Set in an unnamed country racked by a decade-long genocidal civil war, The Night of Truth tells the story of the efforts of the opposing community leaders to overcome their differences. The film provides a compelling, suspenseful and compassionate insight into the difficulties of consigning years of murderous aggression to the past.
