UMURAGE

UMURAGE | A Short Film

 

On this project, we partnered with LampHouse Films and Hope International, whose mission is to invest in the future of families in underserved communities around the world. This short film is based on a true story that takes place in Rwanda. When Aline was 18 years old, she started a savings group with other young single mothers. It’s a powerful testimony of new life and hope in the midst of hardship.
