The Plot
The plot of Musekeweya is based on a set up that is easily recognizable for most Rwandans: two villages, Bumanzi and Muhumuro, situated on two opposing hills with a marsh land in between. The villages live through years of land disputes as the quantity of land available is very limited, and the quality differs from place to place. Tensions are further heightened by the fact that people have different (but unnamed) ethnic identities. A third village of Mugereko was added in 2008.
