Ruunta (2026)
Ruunta, or “truth” in Somali, celebrates the nuanced lived experiences of the Somali community in Minneapolis, the challenges we face, the beauty within our connection with each other and the ancestors who guide us along the way. Ruunta follows a young Somali man torn between who he is expected to be and who he knows he is—in a city that knocks him down and lifts him up.
