    Amnesty screening of Shooting Dogs

    Tuesday 28th March 2006

    Amnesty International will host a special preview screening of Shooting Dogs, a new film starring John Hurt depicting a tragic real life story that took place during the Rwandan genocide in 1994.

    The screening will take place at Cineworld, Parnell St, Dublin on March 28 at 7.30pm

    Tickets cost €8/€5 concession and can be purchased at the Freedom café in Fleet St, Temple Bar, or at Cineworld on the night. The UK Amnesty screening sold out so it is advised to purchase tickets early. All proceeds go to Amnesty International Irish Section
    The film had a hugely successful Irish Premiere at the 2006 Dublin International Film Festival, this screening gives attendees the chance to see the film before it goes on General release on March 31.

    Film synopsis
    Joe Connor has come to teach in Rwanda because he believes he can make a difference. When the school becomes a haven for thousands of Rwandans fleeing the genocide, Joe promises his brightest pupil, Marie, that the UN soldiers will protect her from the hordes of extremist militia baying for blood outside the school.

    But when the UN abandon the refugees, Joe and the school’s headmaster, Father Christopher, face an agonising dilemma: should they leave or should they stand firm with the Rwandans? As the UN trucks force their way through the terrified refugees, Joe stares at the tear-stained face of Marie: what should he do? What would you do?
