God is not working on Sundays - Rebuilding Rwanda, one fearless woman at a time

In post-genocide Rwanda, this compelling documentary captures the unwavering spirit of three women fighting for justice and equality. Florida, Godel, and Beat refuse to let history define them, instead embracing activism and political participation to challenge patriarchal structures.

The film follows their journey—from grassroots empowerment training to the rural villages where survivors live alongside perpetrators. In a nation marked by trauma, they break taboos, amplify women’s demands, and shape a new generation of leaders. Their fight is not just for themselves but for Rwanda where reconciliation and gender equality go hand in hand.
