A tribute to the power of faith and forgiveness, and based on the New York Times bestseller Left to Tell, Miracle in Rwanda shares one woman’s story of surviving the 1994 genocide.
Witness the stunning tour-de-force solo performance of actress Malaika Uwamahoro as she transforms herself into every character in this harrowing yet uplifting true story.
In April 1994 in Rwanda, an extremist militia of Hutu tribesmen began a brutal, widespread effort to exterminate all members of the Tutsi minority tribe. A Catholic young woman named Immaculee went into hiding, armed only with the rosary her father gave her.
While marauders searched for her, she made a decision to pray using the beads her father gave her, transforming her heart and mind, so that in the midst of this holocaust, she found the core divinity within her, the place that no killer can eradicate.
Miracle in Rwanda has been chosen by the United Nations as the official artistic commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the Rwandan Genocide against the Tutsi.
