The Overwhelming – 2006 – Andrew Garfield Fan

Play | 2 hours 25 min | 18 May – 7 October 2006
When American academic Jack Exley arrives in Kigali, Rwanda, in early 1994 to write about his old college classmate Dr. Joseph Gasana and his work with children stricken by AIDS, Jack is unable to find anyone who even admits to knowing the doctor. Jack, his African-American second wife, Linda, and his teenage son, Geoffrey, become enmeshed in the politics, fear, and personal betrayals that mark the start of a genocidal war—a horror all can sense is coming but no one can comprehend or control.
