This Thursday, we invite you all to join us for the film screening of the short movie "Lend Me Your Voice", which will be followed by a panel and a music performance by Nganji Arnaud. Doors open at 6 pm and entrance is free!
Synopsis of the movie:
Akili, a young refugee in Rwanda who has endured a long and painful journey, sits with strangers and invites them to read their story. Akili has lived a difficult life, leaving the Congo for Burundi as a refugee, and then having to flee to Rwanda. Her family was displaced and separated, she was held in prison, was tortured and threatened to death. Through all this, her strength and resilience kept her going. She found a place for herself in the world of boxing, but misogyny also took that dream from her. In an experiment with human empathy Akili sits with strangers as they read her story. Through this act she tries to deal with the many losses she has lived through.
