Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Bazigaga\u2019, a short film that tells the story of Rwandan women who saved lives during the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi was nominated for a British Academy of Film and Television Arts award (Bafta) that will be announced tonight, February 19.<\/p>\n

Written and directed by Jo Ingabire Moys, a survivor of the Genocide herself, the film was inspired by Zura Karuhimbi, a Hutu elderly woman who saved 100 Tutsi by telling the killers she had supernatural powers.<\/p>\n

Moys told different media that the film was also inspired by a then 14 year-old Hutu neighbour, Arifa, who came to their house after a shooting spree to see if anyone was alive.<\/p>\n

She would later sneak supplies for them until they escaped from the city, and she helped them bury their dead.<\/p>\n

Bazigaga also stars renown Rwandan actors and actresses like Eliane Umuhire, Ery Nzaramba, Roger Noel Ineza, and Maely Mahavande.<\/p>\n

The film was nominated in the short film category, alongside The Ballad of Olive Morris, Bus Girl, An Irish Goodbye, and A Drifting Up.<\/p>\n

The film was written and directed by Jo Ingabire Moys<\/p>\n
