This movie tells the stories of 4 women in a extraordinary situation, against the backdrop of a the Rwanda genocide. The film speaks to the heart of women and brings their struggles into focus.

More important than that, it amplifies the voices of the unseen in Rwanda. It sheds light on the horrors they faced, and it invites the viewer to feel their pain, hope their hopes, and dream their dreams. It's truly a beautiful film.

Love love LOVED this film. Kept me on the edge of my seat. This is not the kind of film to watch if you're looking for something lighthearted. I love drama and deep movies that are also educational, so this was a perfect pick. I had no idea about the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda so additionally this was very eye opening for me. Highly recommend if you're looking for an emotional dramatic film!

It's emotional and inspirational movie ever I have watched... There are many inspirational movies but are underrated... We should encourage them. Hollywood need to make many movies on ethnic cleansing and genocide. Ethnic cleansing in Myanmar and in Bosnia and many other places one should make movies and emotional journey of black people in slavery and how the life changed them while slavery and hunger, poor natural disasters in Africa and many small and poor countries one should make movies on them...

Trees of peace takes place durning the Rwandan genocide, also known as the genocide against the Tutsi in 1994.

The film follows four women of different backgrounds, as they take refuge in a small space below a home as militants seek to murder all Tutsi people and those who sympathize with them.

What really stood out to me in this film was the ability to capture my attention from the very start of the film. Everything from the writing to the acting, directing production was at the highest level. The way the story kept my attention is something to behold in itself as the whole film takes place in this small space over a period of 80+ days.

This film is a reminder of the cruelty of humanity but also the kindness and love of it. I wouldn't be surprised if this gets Oscar nods. It's just that good. I'm excited to see where the careers of all involved go, especially Writer/Director Alannah Brown. I highly recommend this film!

This movie is difficult and uncomfortable to watch, which is the point. Alanna shoots the movie in a tight space, following four women as they try to survive a war in hiding. The way this film is shot puts you in the small crawl space with these women, making you feel claustrophobic and uneasy. It brings to life for the viewer what these women are feeling. This is a movie to be experienced, not just watched. You will leave with a greater appreciation of the suffering war brings as well as the strength and companionship it takes to survive it. This is a beautiful film, written and directed by a very talented female director. I highly recommend this film.
