The hero of Rober Favreau's 2006 film A Sunday in Kigali (Un dimanche ? Kigali) is a documentary filmmaker who falls in love with a Rwandan waitress while filming the devastating effects of the AIDS epidemic in Africa in the 90s.
Délivrez-moi (2006), directed by Denis Chouinard, is about a mother who regains custody of her daughter after serving ten years for murdering her lover.
