Rwanda - Le Paradis Retrouvé

Imagine a place where women's place in government is one of the highest in the world...

A society that stops all automobile traffic twice a month to take to the streets and play sports...

A population that dedicates the last Friday of the month to improving its environment...

A forward-thinking country where plastic bags have been banned since 2012...

Rwanda is the only country on the continent to offer health insurance to all its citizens!

A people with the highest school enrolment rate of any emerging country in the world...

A country which, just 25 years ago, was considered the most dangerous in Africa, is now the safest...

A people so resilient that they have managed the unthinkable: to forgive and live with the perpetrators of the 1994 genocide.

Instead of descending into chaos and revenge, Rwanda is now setting an example for the rest of the world.

Surprising as it may seem, in Bugesera, the village of reconciliation, the children of the victims sometimes marry the children of the executioners.

Gandhi couldn't have done better!

Altaïr Conférences' documentary will show you examples of the forgiveness, compassion and humanism that the Rwandans have made their trademark.

The story of the land of a thousand hills can only inspire us as we face our next challenges. We all need a paradise regained!
