Sights & Sounds of Home in Kizarakome

Picture Hope: Sights & Sounds of Home in Kizarakome from LittlePurpleCow Productions on Vimeo.

It took nearly three hours on a bumpy bus ride from Kigali to reach the quiet village of Kizarakome in Rwanda. I captured this first impression sequence of Mupenzi and his sister cooking in the kitchen shortly after we arrived to the Mahigigi homestead. If you listen closely, you can hear the soft voices of sweet young girls at my side.

when you passed through the doorway and there was a stream of light poring in the gap in the roof, that really got me. it was so beautiful.
