Lana Link (JD '12) of Moving Picture Institute to Host "Mama Rwanda" Screening

Lana Link (JD '12), Producer and Vice President of Talent Development at the Moving Picture Institute, will host a free movie screening for all students and alumni at Pepperdine's Wilburn Theater on Thursday, April 12th. "Mama Rwanda" examines a new generation of women in  post-genocide Rwanda whose passion for entrepreneurship is transforming their nation into one of the ten fastest-growing economies in the world. This short documentary interweaves  the stories of two women: Drocella, a village wife, and Christine, a city widow, as they trade subsistence living for a life in business, challenging Western stereotypes of the “African woman,” and highlighting the role of education in empowering women to overcome poverty. A universal, globally relevant tale, "Mama Rwanda" is a deeply cinematic portrait of two mothers on a journey to build peace through prosperity.

The film was made in association with the Moving Picture Institute by Student Academy Award Winner, Laura Waters Hinson.
