Eric Kabera, 45, a journalist, filmmaker and founder and president of Rwanda Cinema Centre, is credited with pioneering the modern phase of Rwanda’s film industry.
In 2001, he teamed up with British filmmaker Nick Hughes to produce the 1994 genocide-inspired 100 Days, a low-budget international hit that gave the country’s film industry the boost it needed after years of stagnation.
