Raindrops Over Rwanda @ Facebook
Join students and faculty for a screening and discussion of "Raindrops Over Rwanda" with Charles Annenberg Weingarten, founder of Explore.org, and Honoré Gatera, head tour guide at the Kigali Memorial Centre and a genocide survivor. In 1994, more than one million people were killed in the Rwandan genocide, a three-month event of unimaginable violence and despair. In this heart-rending documentary, the Explore team travels through present day Rwanda with Gatera, a remarkable young man who guides the viewer through historically significant sites and casts his unique firsthand perspective on the story of how the genocide unfolded. More importantly, he shares his vision for the future of Rwanda. Just fifteen years later, with emotional scars still raw for countless Rwandans, is forgiveness possible? The discussion will be introduced by University Professor and Annenberg Family Chair in Communication Leadership Geoffrey Cowan.
