BBC Radio 4 - Picture Power, Series 1, Return to Rwanda

Mike Goldwater in Rwanda, 17 years after the genocide.

Photographer Mike Goldwater won a world press award for his picture of a young Hutu girl, taken in the build up to the Rwandan genocide. We hear his recordings 17 years on.

Miles Warde talks to photographer Mike Goldwater, recently back from Rwanda where he made moving recordings of the people he photographed. These include a woman whose husband is now in jail for genocide crimes. Mike was in Rwanda during the genocide, and won a world press award for his picture of a young Hutu girl caught up in the ethnic fighting in Burundi the previous year. We hear from both the photographer and his subjects about how the war affected their lives.
The producer is Miles Warde.
