Recordist's notes
The noise of the bus terminal outside the library got a bit overwhelming… so we pulled to chairs in a far away corner of the library and continued with our conversation. Here, Carole tells us about the 1994 Genocide in Rwanda from a woman's perspective… We are with the actor Carole Karemera from Kigali, Rwanda was recorded in Germany, in the city library of Hamm, the Heinrich-von-Kleist-Forum. Carole and her team of actors from the Ishyo Art Centre had come to town for a week as guests of the Helios Children Theatre and the “hellwach” (bright-awake) 6th International Theatre Festival for young audiences. http://ishyo.wordpress.com Carole’s entire footage interview is archived here: https://archive.org/details/Women_of_Rwanda_265
