Has not connected their Facebook account.
Anne Aghion's work as a filmmaker has brought her to Rwanda for over a decade. Her GACACA FILMS, a series of three one-hours and the feature film MY NEIGHBOR MY KILLER have earned her numerous honors, among them an Emmy Award, UNESCO Fellini Prize, a Nestor Almendros Award for Courage in Filmmaking from the Human Rights Watch Film Festival, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. Two of the shorter films were shown on television networks including Sundance Channel, Arte and more than half a dozen networks around the world. MY NEIGHBOR MY KILLER was one of the rare documentaries shown in Official Selection at the Cannes Film Festival. The films have screened for tens of thousands of Rwandans to date.
Aghion’s other films include ICE PEOPLE shot over four months in Antarctica, and her debut work, SE LE MOVIO EL PISO (“The Earth Moved Under Him—A Portrait of Managua"), about slum dwellers in Nicaragua, which won a top award at the Havana Film Festival.
