In 1994, the Mwizerwa family lived through the horrific genocide against Tutsi in Rwanda where nearly one million people were killed in just one hundred days – including their parents and most members of their extended families. By the grace of God, William’s family (his wife, Ebralie, and their four children) survived the killings. Their courageous story is the inspiration for the movie, Beautifully Broken, that released nationwide in 2018. One of the key storylines in the movie is how Legacy Mission Village began.
