Lend Me Your Voice | Claudine Shenge Ndimbira | Rwanda | 2022 | 20 min

Akili, a Congolese woman, lived as a refugee in Burundi before coming to Rwanda. Her journey has seen her family displaced and separated and she herself has been held and tortured in prison at risk of death. Through her resilience and the fighting spirit she found herself a place in the world through boxing until misogyny took that away from her also. By telling her story, she tries to deal with all the loss she’s experienced.
