Filmmaker Laura Waters Hinson Discusses AS WE FORGIVE

[Mavarla]

Mainstream media---in America---doesn't seem interested in Africa: When, as an American, I lived in Europe for four years, I was struck immediately with how conscientious the Europeans are (about Africa) compared to most U.S. citizens. One of my cousins has been deeply involved in Liberia and Uganda for years and I really admire her: It's been dangerous and frustrating work for her, but she genuinely cares. This *is* a marvellous Film, hopefully it'll air on PBS soon so more can see it

wow I showed this to my friends...provoking....goodnes­s...you can always rely on indie people to tell the stories that mainstream media won't.

I am so impressed with the concern that this filmmaker has for displaying a complex, raw picture of what is occurring in Rwanda. Really hope more can see this film!

Great to see someone interested in presenting African people as real, complicated, and even instructive to the world--not just a story of Rwandans' incredibly challenging situation but of Rwandans showing an inspirational amount of courage and kindness to one another.
