The Cobblers Tale

Synopsis

The cobbler is that rare combination: both individual and architype, both a face and a body. To his customers whose shoes are coming to pieces, he's the man who can fix anything. His shop, located in the middle of Gatesheads Jewish Community, is a mirror that reþects back to the viewer a picture of some of the salient social and psychological processes that underlie our culture.

Main character from The Things We Don't Say lying on the ground, looking contemplative The Things We Don't Say

Director: Ornella Mutoni

Year: 2024

A group of young adults born during or just after the 1994 genocide against Rwanda's Tutsi people gather to find the courage to break a powerful taboo. Rwanda is one of the few nations in the world providing specialist counselling for children conceived through rape, who number 10,000 across the country. Here, course leader Emilienne, a mother, therapist and genocide survivor, helps the group to imagine a future free from family secrets and societal stigma. In a circle of supportive peers, they tell their individual stories and face their struggles together, in the hope their participation will advocate for others facing similar trauma.
