Heavy Things Lightly William Twyaigize - Surviving Rwanda
WAWTAR is honored to have on William Twyaigize, survivor of the Rwandan genocide. William relates the tragic events of Rwanda from his first hand experience living through it and with John, recounts his journey of survival and resilience. He sheds light on this chapter of history most of us know so little about. His story is illuminating, intense, and provides a glimpse into the reality of what happened in '94.
