******Best Short Documentary Film award winner at the London City Film Festival 2021..... is ..........drum roll.........................Rwanda: Beyond the Swamp.

Context

In April 1994, my Colleague and friend Stephen Dupont and I illegally crossed the border into Rwanda to document and report on the atrocities that shocked the world. We witnessed the carnage of tens of thousands; in the streets, in fields, swamps, and in churches. What we saw and documented inexplicably changed our lives forever.

Twenty-five years later, I returned to Rwanda wondering, 'can a country find light out of such pervasive darkness'?

What I did find is a nation regenerated under the authoritarian leadership of Paul Kagame. 'Beyond the Swamp' tells Rwanda's remarkable success story and looks at the difficult choices to be made between memory and forgetting.

“In April of 2018, Jack Picone gave a presentation to an audience of 700 that would leave everyone speechless. A life's works somehow squashed into an hour.” ~ Aperture Australia
