Comedians From Rwanda

"They gave each of us their own award and it’s the first time they were doing that –giving two awards to two people for one role."

"I was alone in a country that the media had depicted another image to me, and what I discovered was amazing! From the people, to the country, the food, the history, the nature."

"It’s such a beautiful place. It’s a hilly city that really made me think of Kibuye because of all the corners and the hills and the city being seated on hills and valleys so it’s just charming. It’s an old, beautiful city that looks almost like a movie set."

"The first task was getting information and documenting myself to know what kind of audience comes to that festival, which category is that festival –is it just a casual festival or is it an A-class festival. This was A-class."

"All this no one had told me. I had to make my own research. Going to a movie premiere is almost like attending a wedding to me so I had to make it memorable for myself."

"Liberation Day should be considered as a thanksgiving day to those who gave their youth, dreams and strength so that today Rwandans get to have a prosperous country as it is."

"For me, Rwanda is a land of resilience and rebirth. It is recognized for its commitment to ecology, gender equality, and women’s representation. Kigali is a dynamic and creative capital that embodies this forward-looking energy. As a Rwandan, I am proud to invite you to discover my country, this inspiring place where culture, innovation, and sisterhood come together."
