Films Upstairs:
GHOSTS OF RWANDA - a FRONTLINE film by Greg Barker
www.pbs.org
"Ghosts of Rwanda" marks the 10th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide, a state-sponsored massacre in which some 800,000 Rwandans were methodically murdered by Hutu extremists in which the U.S. and international community refused to intervene. Ghosts of Rwanda examines the social, political, and diplomatic failures that converged to enable the genocide to occur. Through interviews with key government officials, diplomats, soldiers, and survivors of the slaughter, "Ghosts of Rwanda" presents groundbreaking, first-hand accounts of the genocide from those who lived it.

AFROGROOV: ERIC SOUL www.myspace.com/ericsoulafrogroov
Born in Rwanda, grew up in Belgium, living in London, Eric Soul has built a global reputation over the years as a true musical activist. With a unique mix of hip hop, soul and global urban sounds, Eric Soul established himself as one of the most original DJs on the Belgian/UK/Worldwide circuit. Drawn to London by the pull of the drum'n'bass wave in the mid 90s, Eric soon became known as a DJ who played a selection of styles that was as eclectic as it was compelling. He founded the seminal DJ collective 'Groov'n'Bass Movement' in 1997. Since 2001 Eric's sound has become a dependable part of London's biggest multicultural celebration, the annual Respect Festival, continuing his work as a global sound alchemist.
