Through my Eyes

Iseta, Intore, The Woman in Me, We are all Rwandans and Africa United the feature film now streaming on Netflix. 

Dear Eric,

I saw your film Keepers of Memory in Brighton. I just had to write to congratulate you and to say what an astonishing piece of work. I have, as you know, spent years investigating the circumstances of the 1994 genocide, but in those years I have never been so touched by a film on the subject. If I can do anything to help you to promote the film please let me know.  I do hope that you will continue to be able to make films about this for it is so

crucial for people to understand the failure.
Linda Melvern.

Africa United

90 Mins:

Director : Debs Gardner:

Produced by Eric Kabera, Mark Blaney,Jackie Shepard 

Africa United is a road movie about five children who travel 3,000 miles to reach the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Their backgrounds are as diverse as the continent – Fabrice, a middle-class football protégé; Dudu, a Rwandan Aids orphan with a true sense of determination; Beatrice, his God-loving and gentle little sister; Celeste, a proud teenage sex worker; and Foreman George, a traumatized former child soldier from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The early screenings have seen rapturous acclaim for the performances, and at the Toronto Film Festival it won a standing ovation.

We are committed to tell the new narrative out of the African continent while still connecting with the rest of the world. Among the projects under development include: Love on a Moto, Queen and The Clients to name but a few. We welcome you on board.

The plan for your consideration:

Before Kwetu Expeditions came to life, we had Kwetu Film Institute (KFI) which was a centre of academic excellence, exploring new kinds of communication, cultural expression and civic engagement through cinematic education and training in Rwanda. It incorporated the boutique hotel called Kwetu Residence Inn which had its own unmistakable identity. The place still remains in people’s memory long after their visits to Kigali.  This boutique hotel had a vibrant atmosphere as it hosted many activities such as workshops organised by the Film School. It also had a  very stylish Coffee Shop and a Mini Mart. We now offer visitors a whole new experience at another level by offering you The View at the Cafe des Artistes, a space with an unique panorama and a vista that will be breathtaking. Here you will be shown the whole city of Kigali, and have a drink of the best brewed coffee from the renowned Barista of Rwanda. You will stay in a room that will give you a view of the city from the comfort of your bed.

The View at Cafe Des Artistes will offer hospitality, artistic experience and the base for an expedition of a life time. Our warmth ensures that your stay with us will be special.

Karibu Kwetu - Welcome Home

VISION

Kwetu Expeditions is not just another addition to all the tours already in Africa; it is a full experience of history, culture, people and landscape. You will feel the very soul of Kigali; we will take you into the mountains and valleys of Rwanda, share with you the experience of a rebirth of a nation as shown through the lens - in the many films that we have produced over the past two decades. Kwetu Expeditions expects to bring to Rwanda thousands of tourists each year from around the world and immerse you in a one day experience of making a movie, being on a set and becoming a star in one of the local movies being produced by our company. With our vast experience in taking people on a virtual journey through film, this will be a great opportunity to discover Rwanda.

Kwetu Expeditions has a mission to deliver a memorable experience while arranging for visitors to discover the real Rwanda. By supporting youth training, capacity building, culture, conservation, and by promoting good practice, we will be enhancing the development of Rwanda as a top class tourist destination and promoting it as a clean and safe destination.

100 DAYS:

Producer : Eric Kabera

Director/ Director: Nick Hughes 

NICK HUGHES, born 1961, worked fourteen years as a cameraman for the BBC and witnessed the 1994 genocide in Rwanda.

The first Rwandan produced feature film that thematises the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda in 1994. Young Josette loses her brother in the massacres and hides in a church, allegedly protected by UN forces. She thus relies on the local priest’s protection, however he exacts a high price.

The Award  winning film was shot on location with Rwandan amateur actors, and convey the events, partly as Nick Hughes himself as a cameraman witnessed, partly obtained through witness statements from survivors.

Synopsis:

A local Hutu official is persuaded to implement the government's policy against the Tutsi: To completely wipe them out. Josette, a beautiful young Tutsi girl struggles to survive the killing by taking refuge in a church, supposedly protected by the UNO forces. Meanwhile, Josette's brother is hunted down and murdered and her boyfriend rescued by the rebels. But the Hutu Catholic priest betrays Josette's family and only agrees to spare her life is to submit to the nightly violations. By the time she is reunited with her boyfriend, neither of them can face the brutal reality of their situation: she is pregnant and bears the priest's child, which she immediately abandons. 100 Days was shot in Kibuye, the beautiful landscape had been the back drop to some of the worst atrocities in 1994. In Kibuye Church, the site of an actual massacre, Rwanda actors played killers and victims that were only too familiar to them.
