My Globe is Broken in Rwanda<br />
Who am I? What am I doing with my life?<br />
Young people ask the same questions the world over. But<br />
what if your childhood was crushed by war and genocide?<br />
What if your whole family was murdered, or if you took<br />
arms yourself?<br />
My Globe is Broken in Rwanda is the story of four such<br />
Rwandans. It's not about identifying good and bad, it's a<br />
cautious, yet candid encounter with four young people,<br />
their lives and their country.<br />
