MTN

Jim to Mr. Ericsson, head of MTN Rwanda: "MTN has got to be the biggest company in the country. What's it like running Rwanda?" hehehe...

Ah, 'twas a good day. An excellent interview with Antoine Rutayisire this morning. He lived through the genocide in Kigali, and has a fantastic in-depth perspective of the reconciliation process of the country. Honest, comprehensive knowledge about the challenges and why Rwanda has done well.

Shot a quick interview with the head of World Relief, some shots of the compound, a little ditty for Jim's church, and the aforementioned MTN interview. Tomorrow is some pickups with Jeff & Yvonne, Rwandan dancing and some man-on-the-street shots with small shop owners.

We went for dinner at Chez Lando... where Rwandan's go for a good time. Soccer, beer, and skewers combine for a lively atmosphere. We had a lot of fun watching Richard join in with the locals cheering on the Nigerian football club.

The Ugandan contingent (Jim's family and some teachers from Kibaale) left this morning to return. We'll be heading there after we shoot a gacaca on Wednesday morning. So... tomorrow's the last day to pick up any of the last few shots.

Still not solid on the glue that holds the pieces together, but we've got so much good footage... now comes the hard part of piecing it together so that it hits both the heart and the mind. One thing is for sure: I am constinually inspired by the resilience and hope of the Rwandese.
