Screening

MAMA RWANDA examines a new generation of women in  post-genocide Rwanda whose passion for entrepreneurship is transforming their nation into one of the ten fastest-growing economies in the world. This short documentary interweaves  the stories of two women: Drocella, a village wife, and Christine, a city widow, as they trade subsistence living for a life in business, challenging Western stereotypes of the “African woman,” and highlighting the role of education in empowering women to overcome poverty. A universal, globally relevant tale, MAMA RWANDA is a deeply cinematic portrait of two mothers on a journey to build peace through prosperity.


The film was made in association with the Moving Picture Institute by Student Academy Award Winner, Laura Waters Hinson. 

Panel

7:20pm

After the screening, Pepperdine faculty will join Lana Link -- a Pepperdine School of Law alum and one of the film's producers -- for a conversation about entrepreneurship and economics in developing countries.
