b'IMPACT:KNOWING THE STORYSpotlight:Richard HallFor producer Richard Hall, supporting USC Shoah Foundations efforts to collect testimony related to the 1994 Genocide of the Tutsi in Rwanda is a natural extension of his work as a documentary filmmaker. Hall, whose wife is a survivor of the Genocide Against the Tutsi in 1994, has helped fund the integration of testimonies from survivors of the Genocide into the Visual History Archive. Beyond supporting USC Shoah Foundations efforts in Rwanda, Hall has committed his own time and money to furthering awareness of the Genocide. In July, Hall premiered The 600, a documentary he wrote and produced about the little-known story of 600 Rwanda Patriotic Army soldiers trapped behind enemy lines at the outset of violence in 1994 and their efforts to rescue civilians from the slaughter. In his quest to use authentic voices to share the truth of the Genocide Against the Tutsi in 1994, Hall sees parallels to his work and that of USC Shoah Foundation.We must be vigilant stewards of testimony, challenging lies, restating truth and honoring those who died. We need dozens of USC Shoah Foundations, but we have the one, so its important to support it. Richard Hall2019 ANNUAL REPORT21'
