It is starring Eliane Umuhire, Charmaine Bingwa, Bola Koleosho and Ella Cannon as four women (two Tutsi, one a Hutu moderate, and one American volunteer) who hide in a hole underneath a house for 81 days to survive the 1994 Rwandan genocide.[1] It has a 98 minute runtime and is an English language film.[2]
