Based on events during the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda, four women from different backgrounds and beliefs are trapped together in an underground room. As they contend with the fear of being found and fight a slow death from starvation, they are forced to reconcile their inner demons and to put their differences aside to live through the day—for 81 days straight.

Trees of Peace is the story of four women who find unity, hope, and strength through one of the world’s darkest tragedies.
