Rwanda genocide: young filmmakers look to the future

Young Rwandan filmmakers are coming together to mark 20 years since the end of the genocide as part of a Plan-supported film competition to promote reconciliation. The competition is among a series of events taking place around the world to commemorate the Rwanda genocide, which saw an estimated 800,000 people massacred in 100 days – leaving two thirds of the population under the age of 25. Three young filmmakers have already been selected out of 40 entrants to go forward to the finals - including Samuel Ishimwe, 22, with his short fiction film Crossing Lines, Yves Montand Niyogambo, 26, with the documentary Invincible, and Philbert Aime Mbabazi, 23, with a short fiction film called Hutsi-Akaliza keza.
