Sisters: 2nd Generation
Cracks in the walls, but not in the closeness between mother and daughter. Smiling, Sister Virgini gives up pleaing with little Deborah to come inside for lunch. The child prefers to remain just where she is--on the ground, peeling fruit with her friends.
Directed by Jared Miller (USA), Sisters of Rwanda is a young NGO helping to empower and ennoble prostitutes in Remera, Kigali. This series documents their lives off the streets.
