RWANDA RAVE REVIEWS

at Rwanda Film Festival
New York, New York

To Orwell Today,
I had the privilege this past week to be a part of a great event in New York honoring Rwandan film makers. At that event was among others some great political figures like President Clinton, Ambassador Andrew Young..., some American names in the movie industries.
I heard to my great pleasure President CLINTON stating clearly that Paul KAGAME and the RPF STOPPED THE GENOCIDE in Rwanda and he went on to PRAISE President KAGAME for never allowing any form of revenge to take over. Bill CLINTON told us about his personal experience with Rwanda post genocide as he seems to be a frequent visitor in our country. He actualy delivered a testimony.
I am still trying to gather all the relevant materials (audio, pictures, articles) for all the netters around the web to see, listen and appreciate the greatness our fellow Rwandans have achieved. You will all be able to see Ambassador Andrew Young, Pastor Rick Warren speaking about H.E Paul KAGAME, RWANDA, RECONCILIATION etc.
Most of all I will introduce to all of you the Rwandan movie production taking place in the country of a thousand hills. How many of us in the diaspora knew about movies being made by Rwandans in Rwanda, in kinyarwanda? Personaly I did not know.
