Synopsis: Sweet, Sweet Country is a 2013 short film written and directed by Dehanza Rogers, starring Danielle Deadwyler and Gbenga Akinnagbe (The Wire, Nurse Jackie). We meet Ndizeye as she’s rekindling an intimate relationship. A 20 year-old refugee, she lives in a small Southern town struggling to support not only herself, but the family she left behind in a Kenyan refugee camp. Her struggle becomes so much more when her family literally shows up at her doorstep.

The film was shot on location in Clarkston, Georgia.
