If I didnt have a gig in a Montreal donut shop on this date (for real!), Id be going to see this awesome free film screening in Burlington: “Sweet Dreams” stars a group of stalwart Rwandese women who discover the power of drumming and ice cream. Ingoma Nshya (New Kingdom) is the name of Rwanda’s first and only all-female drumming group. The troupe is made up of women from all ages and from both the Hutu and Tutsi tribes. In 1994 the genocidal conflict that erupted between the Hutu and Tutsi people took the life of nearly one million people. In interviews with the women, it is clear that the drumming group is a vital way to build trust and reestablish a sense of community. Infectious anthems accompany the thunderous drumming, making the perfect soundtrack for a newly empowered Rwanda. Thurs. Feb, 12 at 7pm, Champlain College Alumni Auditorium, 375 Maple St., Burlington, VT 05402
