THE PITCH: The Team: Je ne comprends pas – The Anglo-ification of Rwanda

French and Kinyarwanda have been the languages of Rwanda, ever since the Belgians colonized the country in 1918. But in 2008, the government declared all administrative offices must conduct business in English and all classes must be taught in English. What are the economic and cultural challenges and opportunities that the shift in language presents? This film will follow four young people from different backgrounds as they adapt to the new policy – individuals who have spent their lives in Rwanda and those whose families fled the country and now have returned.

The Team:

The Budget: 55330 Rwandan Francs = $60
