CEO of the Rwanda Cinema Center, Eric Kabera, Touring the US

Eric Kabera -- founder of the Rwanda Cinema Centre and director of the documentary Keepers of Memory -- arrived in the United States for a speaking and fundraising tour on behalf of the Centre, which runs free outdoor film screenings across Rwanda using inflatable screens. The Centre's mission is to use cinema as a tool of reconciliation and healing in post-genocide Rwanda.

Kabera was scheduled to screen his film and speak about the Centre's work at universities, film societies, and cultural institutions across the country. Proceeds from the tour supported the purchase of additional equipment and expansion of the Centre's village screening programme.
