  • Summary

  • 14 years old, alone, barefoot, without food or shelter, and on the run from strangers trying to kill her for nearly 100 days. This is the reality that Marie-Christine Williams faced during the 1994 Rwandan Genocide that massacred almost one million Tutsi men, women, and children. She was forced to bear witness to what no child should. She is alive today thanks to her faith, strength, brainpower, and tenacity to prove that she was not the “worthless” person her father used to tell her she was. She didn’t know who she could trust, just that she had to survive.

    Abandoned as a baby, she was forced to spend years of her childhood suffering from abuse by her father and being bullied for being “different”. In this episode, Marie-Christine takes us back to the months leading up to the genocide, and that fateful day when the Hutu death squads burst into her house and changed her whole world as she knew it. Bring the tissue box because this miraculous story is bound to move and inspire you in ways you couldn’t imagine.
