RWANDA:
Genocide, Reconciliation & Hope |
|
|
This multi-component project includes a two-hour public television
documentary as well as numerous community outreach activities
geared toward both the U.S and Rwanda. The project is inspired
by the book Rwanda: History & Hope which is currently being
authored by Dr. Margee Ensign, Dean of International Studies
at the University of the Pacific. Dr. Ensign is also a consulting
producer to the television component and will play an active
role in community outreach. Comprehensive in its approach,
our goal is to facilitate consciousness raising around issues
of genocide and reconciliation. The violence and horrors of
the 1994 genocide will be explored in hour one of the film
as well as the history of Rwanda leading up to the genocide.
But it's equally important to note that Rwanda today is a
model for economic development and the empowerment of women.
Hour two will explore the hope that has been restored in Rwanda
and will look at ways in which Rwanda can be considered a
model for developing nations around the world. In addition
to the television documentary, the project includes a classroom
component, community outreach in both the US and Rwanda, a
traveling photo museum and a two day Open Space forum in Rwanda.
Partners in the project include Iowa Public Television, Schools
Online (a division of Relief International - RI.org),
and Dr. Margee Ensign among others. For additional information
on this production, please contact Jessica St. John at Jessica@DuncanEntertainment.com.
