After the film, join Olivier Nduwumukiza and Damas Mutezintare Gisimba for a Kwibuka Conversation about the importance of finding your humanity when faced with evil.

Damas saved the lives of more than 400 children at his orphanage in Nyamirambo. Olivier was one of those children rescued by Damas. You can watch his testimony on the Genocide Archive of Rwanda here.
