Last week, youth from Agahozo Shalom Youth Village had a lifetime experience in the field of Filmmaking. Pierre Kayitana, the Ambassador of Films Without Borders decided to invest in skills and knowledge among the youth in order to impact their lives after school.

Agahoza Shalom Youth Village is the orphanage where the Films Without Borders’s team chose to train on filmmaking.

Jill Samuels, the Founder and Chairperson of Films Without Borders, said in few years time, "Rwanda will be among the few countries that will have good quality movies because the industry is still young and the people who join are still as young as well.”

Films Without Borders were able to partner with Rayon Sports FC to empower some of the youth in their diverse talent, beside filmmaking. Recently, Providance Nkurunziza joined the team from Agahoza Shalom Village and has ventured into building his God-given skills.
