★★★★ review by Dan Newman on Letterboxd
After escaping Rwanda in 1999 with the help of a good samaritan known only as “Johnson”, the film documents Sven Pannell's return and hunt for the man who helped him. After his story is broadcast on Rwandan radio, the ensuing scenes highlight the naivety as well as the difficulty of the plan, or lack thereof.
Act Of Kindness is an great documentary.
