From a burnt-out refugee camp to dining with the President

Available for over a year

As a child, Mondiant Dogon's Tutsi family were chased out of their home by Hutu extremists. They were living in DR Congo and feeling the aftershocks of the Rwandan genocide. His determination to get an education would eventually lead him to the table with the most powerful man in Rwanda. Content Warning: this programme contains graphic descriptions of violence. Mondiant has written a book about his life called: Those We Throw Away Are Diamonds.
