Listen, My Children 

Many have heard of the horrific genocide that took place in Rwanda in 1994, when 200,000 Hutus slaughtered 800,000 Tutsis and some moderate Hutus – their own countrymen. But few are aware that Our Lady warned the country about the impending disaster – and how to avoid it – during a series of apparitions to three school girls 12 years earlier. The visions of destruction, torture, and human carnage as well as a river of blood viewed by one of the visionaries were so terrifying that the young girl told Our Lady she was afraid she would never be able to sleep again.

Production

In late 2020 I produced, directed, and edited a special documentary for EWTN Global Catholic Network, EWTN is the largest religious media network in the world. EWTN’s 11 global TV channels are broadcast in multiple languages 24 hours a day, seven days a week to over 425 million television households in more than 160 countries and territories. We began production planning in 2020 and at the hight of COVID filming interviews in Rwanda began in early 2021. 

Once we returned filming of seven reenactments took place in a green screen studio, I used after effects to complete all the scenes, selected all the content while working with producers from the network I edited the final program.
