A Sunday in Kigali is a 2006 Canadian feature film set during the Rwandan genocide. Directed by Robert Favreau, it follows the story of Bernard Valcourt, a documentary filmmaker, and journalist, as he sets off to Kigali to film a documentary about AIDS. He gets caught up in the turmoil of horrific events involving Hutus and Tutsis that tragically leads to genocide. During his stay at the Hôtel des Mille Collines, Valcourt falls in love with a beautiful, shy waitress named Gentille.
