- In this Studio 5 Special,

we travel to the Land of A Thousand Hills

to see Rwanda, Wakanda,

and Hollywood unite,

to change the odds andrise after genocide.

And welcome to Studio 5.

This week we're in Kigali,the capital city of Rwanda,

taking a look at the countryin the world of entertainment

as it marks its 25th anniversary

of being liberated from genocide.

We're here at the Hotel Mille Collines.

It was made famous inthe film Hotel Rwanda,

so let's begin our countdown

of Rwanda in Hollywood right now.

At number five...

- Take a long, hard look.

Remember it.

- Take a look at this.

Take a good, hard look.

This is what they did to me.

- Michaela Coel takes viewers on a journey

from London to Paris to Rwanda

in the Netflix series Black Earth Rising.

- You play a character who's dealing with

the very real trauma ofbeing a genocide survivor.

- [Eve] You have a Britishpassport and you're my daughter.

- I don't know my own name.

The only thing I know is that it happened

to nearly a million people,and I'll never forget it,

and neither should anyone else.

- [Efrem] This deeply personal search

to uncover her past first aired on the BBC

and now streams on Netflix.

- In 1994, at least 800,000people were killed in 100 days,

and how can I not know that?

So it begins there, andit's about the consequences

of the genocide.

- [Efrem] At number four...

- If there's one placeon Earth that might serve

as a test piece, it's Rwanda.

- [Efrem] Rwanda's very realroad to recovery from genocide

brought Morgan Freeman and theNational Geographic Channel

to the country for The Story of Us.

- [Morgan Freeman] The genocideended when Tutsi general,

Paul Kagame's rebel forces

seized the capital, Kagali.

Six years later, Kagamewas elected President,

an office he still holds.

And today, more than twodecades on from the genocide,

there has been no return to violence.

- We have a lot ofplaces to point fingers,

but that doesn't help.

What helps is confrontingthe situation as we should.

- And so begins our countdown.

We'll get to number threein just a little bit.

As we said, we are herein Rwanda this week,

taking a look back as the country marks

25 years since beingliberated from genocide.

With this horizon, it is easy to see

why Rwanda is called TheLand of A Thousand Hills.

More than half of the population

makes a living farming these lush lands.

In 1994, however, this water-soaked soil

became a tribal killing ground,

an estimated 800,000 Rwandas murdered

in just 100 days,

mainly Tutsis, at thehands of radical Hutus.

The tension between the tribes

stemmed from Belgian colonizers,

dividing Rwandans by ethnicity.

It's hard to tell Rwanda's genocide story

without a stop here atthe Hotel Mille Collines.

It served as a refugefor some 2000 Rwandans

during those 100 dark and bloody days.

The hotel was also made famous

in the film Hotel Rwanda.

- [Man On Radio] Listen tome, good people of Rwanda.

- [Efrem] This scene recallsApril 6th, 1994, the moment

that ignited the genocide.- Oh, son.

- [Man On Radio] Horrible news.

Our great president is murderedby the Tutsi cockroaches.

- Oh God.- They tricked him

into signing their phony peace agreement,

then they shot his plane from the sky.

- [Efrem] The truth about who shot down

the president's plane is still not known,

but the violence that followedwill never be forgotten.

(foreign language)

- [Translator] They took my child,

and they cut her in two pieces.

- [Efrem] April 29th, 1994.

Alice Mukaruinda lost her arm, her child,

and nearly her life.

- [Translator] We would eitherhide under the dead bodies

when we heard them come to start shooting,

or dig a place to hide.

- [Efrem] Scars mark thebeating and mutilation

Alice endured after soldiers found her

and her baby in hiding.

- [Translator] The waterswept away my baby's body,

and they put me somewherewhere there was no water.

But I was pretty much dead.

- [Efrem] Many in Alice'ssmall town of Nyamata

did not survive.

This used to be a place of worship.

Today it's a memorial for theroughly 2000 slaughtered here

while seeking refuge,

their clothes and bones on display,

a reminder of the darktime in Rwanda's history.

The genocide ended in July, 1994.

World Vision was on theground with first aid,

food, and medicine.

It also played a majorrole in reconciliation.

- You cannot think oflong-term development

if people are disconnected.

- [Efrem] Father John Bosco Twahirwa

applauds the government's move

to partner with faith organizations

to help the country heal.

(foreign language)

- [Translator] We took theword of God to prisons,

to communities, to areas wherevictims and survivors were.

We took the word of Godeverywhere to make a difference.

- [Efrem] Forgiveness isn't easy.

He understands the struggle.

- [Translator] The personwho killed my grandmother

is the one who currentlyworks at our farms.

We forgave him and we share.

It was difficult at first,but slowly by slowly,

people started seeing that forgiveness

and asking for forgiveness

is what would actuallyhelp us rebuild our nation.

- And people here inRwanda won't soon forget

the genocide their country endured.

There are more than 230 memorials.

Still ahead...- I care.

I care.

I am trying to create alegacy for our family.

- [Efrem] It's not justa legacy of laughter

for this Hollywood star.

- Yes, that's right, that's right.

- How dare you!

- [Efrem] See how PatriciaHeaton splashes smiles

on the faces of many,right here in Rwanda.

- [Announcer] CBN presentsthe I Wills of God,

your path to overcoming fear and anxiety.

- We are going to talk aboutsome of the incredible promises

God has made to his children.

- [Announcer] In PatRobertson's newest teaching,

you'll discover the I Wills of God,

I will rescue him,protect him, answer him,

be with him in trouble, deliver him,

honor him, satisfy him with long life ,

show him my salvation.

And see amazing stories

of God's promises in action.

- What I felt was loved and treasured.

- God spared my life twice in three days.

- The good Lord hadgiven me a second chance.

- [Announcer] Break freefrom stress and despair.

- [Pat] The Lord doesn'twant you to live in fear,

but to know the rewardsgiven to those who love God.

- [Announcer] Call 1-800-700-7000

or visit CBN.com.

The I Wills of God, your path

to overcoming fear and anxiety.

- [Announcer] Remember for a moment,

what it was like to be a child.

You believed every story you were told.

You saw a world full ofendless possibilities.

What stories will the world's orphaned

and at-risk children believe?

We believe the Bible tells the only story

truly worth believing.

We believe that every child

should have the opportunity to dream,

the chance to take challenges

and turn them into possibilities,

the chance to stand onthe promises of God,

to recognize their place

in the greatest story ever told.

They have their whole lives ahead of them.

Theirs is a world ofendless possibilities.

They are looking for a story to believe.

We will tell them that story.

Will you join us?

(children laughing)

(upbeat music)

- Hi, I'm Patricia Heatonin Rwanda with World Vision,

and you're watching Studio 5.

- And welcome back to Studio 5.

We are in Rwanda this week

as the country marks the 25th anniversary

of its liberation from genocide.

We're at the Panorama hereat the Hotel Mille Collines,

made famous in the film Hotel Rwanda.

Let's continue our countdownof Rwanda in Hollywood.

At number three...

♪ There is a train ♪

♪ That's headed straight ♪

♪ To Heaven's gate ♪

- [Efrem] This is SherylCrow's new recording

of Redemption Day.

♪ For redemption day ♪

- [Efrem] First written in the 1990s,

after she returned home

from entertaining the troops in Bosnia,

and there's also inspiration from Rwanda.

- When I came home, Iwas just deeply affected,

not only having playedfor all these young faces,

but also just havingseen this war-torn area,

and yet, on TV, all the coverage

was on Rwanda and the genocide.

♪ Fire rages in the streets ♪

♪ And swallows everything it meets ♪

- [Efrem] It's a blended duet

with the late countrymusic legend, Johnny Cash.

- And it was just reallyasking the question of why,

why do we go into some areas,and other areas we don't?

- [Efrem] At number two...

("Habibi" by The Ben)

- [Efrem] That's thevoice of Benjamin Mugisha,

known as The Ben.

Rwandans love this native son,

who now lives in the United States,

and he will represent Rwanda at the next

One Africa Music Fest,

scheduled for August in New York.

("Habibi" by The Ben)

And that leaves only one more headline

in this week's countdown.

We'll get to that in just a bit.

Patricia Heaton is possibly best known

for her roles in The Middleand Everybody Loves Raymond.

Well, she's also hard at workin Rwanda with World Vision.

We caught up with her forthis Studio 5 Sit Down.

- Instead of saying I like it,

I say yes, sister.- Yes sister.

(laughing)

- [Efrem] Patricia Heaton'searned her star in Hollywood

and in the hearts of fansmaking millions laugh.

- If I'm the one thathas to do the laundry,

why should I be the one todrag that thing upstairs, huh?

Isn't the man supposed to carry stuff?

Isn't that the manly thing to do?

- [Efrem] As Debra, nineyears on the CBS hit series,

Everybody Loves Raymond.

- We are gonna do something as a family.

We are eating defrosted potpies from the Frugal Hoosier

and watching Dance Moms.

- [Efrem] And for nine years as Frankie

on the ABC hit, The Middle.

- We will have left a mark on the world,

and whatever that mark is,

it has to fit into this freaking box!

- Away from the bright lightsof the big and small screens,

Patricia Heaton is makingher mark on the world,

like visiting these womenin Rwanda in this village,

working with the humanitarianorganization World Vision.

How many World Vision tripswould you say you've taken?

- Rwanda is my fourth.

I've been in Zambia, Jordan, and Uganda.

- What keeps you coming back?

- Well, what I've alwaysloved about World Vision is

the long-term impact that it makes,

the transparency thatthe organization has,

and every time I come back I see

more and more peoplelifted out of poverty,

women getting educated.

There's just all kindsof work that goes on,

and every time I come back,

I see the progress.

- What have you been able to witness

since being here in Rwanda?

- We got to see a loteconomic development today,

and as you know, Rwanda

had the terrible genocide in '94,

and not only were the people decimated,

but the infrastructure, thewhole country was decimated,

and they were reallystarting from the ground up,

and it's amazing to see,

first of all how beautiful Rwanda is,

how green and lush,

and to see what,

through the Rwandangovernment's partnership

with World Vision, whathas been achieved here,

especially economically, and with women,

starting businesses,starting savings clubs,

being able to make enoughmoney as a community

to pay the fees to sendtheir children to school,

to buy medical insurance,

to improve their homes,

starting businesses likemaking baskets and sewing,

buying livestock and selling them.

So it's really been amazing to see

the economic developmentstarting from the ground up

with the help of World Visionand the Rwandan government.

- How would you say visitslike these change you?

- I think, you know, whenyou come on these visits

you see how much wonderfulstuff is happening in the world

and how a small donation from you

can change not just one person's life,

but many people's lives,a whole country can change

because of your donation,

and I think we need to see that more

because sometimes with the atmosphere

in our country right now,

you can feel like things are terrible.

You might feel depressed or despair,

but you know, every time I come here,

I just see that there'sso much good in the world

and there's so many people that need help,

and that just a smallamount from any of us

can really change a person's life.

- And Patricia Heaton isn't only

hard at work with World Vision.

She has got a new comedyseries coming to CBS.

We'll keep an eye outfor Carol's Second Act.

And still to come from Rwanda...

- This never gets old.

to the Motherland.

- I had to go to the continent,

you know, for the first time,

and in a special time, I went by myself.

You know, and it openedup a lot of things.

- [Announcer] It's about the competition.

- I kinda put that pressure on myself,

and I think people had expectations.

- [Announcer] It's about overcoming.

- We use this phrase all the time,

keep chopping, keep practicing hard.

- [Announcer] It's aboutgoing the distance.

- And I think as a father,it's my job, you know, to lead,

just be the best husbandand father I can be.

- And welcome back to Studio 5.

We have made it to the final headline

in this week's look atRwanda in entertainment.

At number one,

we bring it right back hereto the Hotel Mille Collines,

a spot made famous to the world

in the 2004 film Hotel Rwanda,

starring Don Cheadle.

(gunshots)- Sir, Sir!

We've got trouble at the gate.

- [Efrem] Based on the true story

of a brave man's act to save his family

and more than 1000 refugees,

providing them with shelter.

- What is your name?

- Rusesabagina.

Paul Rusesabagina.

- I'll remember you.

I'll remember you.

Let's go.

- And that wraps the countdown

and brings us to aneven more expansive look

at Rwanda in Hollywood.

Here's a question for you.

How much of Rwanda is inBlack Panther's Wakanda?

- We are home.

- [Efrem] Prince T'Challa's return home

to the fictional African country, Wakanda,

is an unforgettable scene

in the blockbuster film, Black Panther.

(ship whooshing)

- This never gets old.

- [Efrem] And so is this.

(chanting)

The mountainside chant before T'Challa

faces the challenge to his throne.

- I, Zuri, son of Badhu,

give to you, Prince T'Challa,

the Black Panther.

(cheering)

- [Efrem] This is the workof director, Ryan Coogler,

who traveled to Africa for the inspiration

to complete the project.

- I had great collaborators,

but I had to get right with myself.

You know, I had to go to the continent,

you know, for the first time,

and in a special time, I went by myself.

You know, and it openedup a lot of things,

both for the film, a lotof things for the film,

but even more so for I think

insight into myself, you know,

and questions that I had about myself

and my own identity.

- So, was this filmself-identifying for you?

- Absolutely, absolutely.

- Bullet wounds don't justmagically heal overnight.

- They do here,

but not by magic, by technology.

- [Efrem] The technology of Wakanda

inspires comparisons to real-life Rwanda.

- Wakanda is real.

There is a country where more than 90%

of the population iscovered by health insurance.

Drones bring medicine to even the most

rural parts of the country.

This country can be foundin the heart of Africa.

It's real-life Wakanda.

This place is called Rwanda,

and actually it's onlya few hundred miles away

from where fictionalWakanda is supposed to be.

- [Efrem] The MedicalFuturist, Bertalan Mesko,

isn't alone in seeing Rwanda in Wakanda.

- Marvelous, like Wakanda,

Rwanda is a small, small country,

and it's gorgeous.

- [Efrem] Take a look,there is simply no denying

the beauty of The Landof A Thousand Hills.

- If that's not someWakanda realness here,

I don't know.

- And then there's Rwanda's economy.

It's one of the fastestgrowing in Central Africa,

and praised around the world.

- Just over two decades ago,

the Central African country, Rwanda,

was crippled by a genocide,

reeling after the slaughterof up to a million people,

the infrastructure, theeconomy completely shattered.

Well, with order and stability now,

this country is hailed asa model of transformation.

- I think if you'd said toanybody after the genocide

that Rwanda would beas peaceful and stable

and prosperous as it is today,

people would havelaughed at you back then.

- [Efrem] And so, from Rwanda...

- Wakanda Forever!- Wakanda Forever!

- I certainly hope that will hold you

until we finally get Black Panther 2.

As you know, music fuelsthe production of this show,

so we thought we'dfeature a Rwandan artist.

His name is Meddy, and his Slowly

is what's playing in my ear.

♪ Baby it's too much, yeah ♪

- And welcome back to Studio5, coming to you this week

from The Land of A Thousand Hills, Rwanda.

It's time now to say it in pictures.

Here's this week's Studio 5 Snapshot.

It's been 25 years sincethe people of Rwanda

suffered through genocide.

Still, just this past Saturday, May 3rd,

the remains of nearly 85,000 people,

murdered at that time, were laid to rest

in a somber ceremony in Kagali,

a quarter of a century after the massacre.

These images are thisweek's Studio 5 Snapshot.

And with that snapshot,it is time to look ahead

to see what we're workingon for you for next week.

Studio 5 is on set for the latest chapter

of A Dog's Journey.

- So what's your favoritepart of shooting this film?

(barking)

- [Man] It's a ruff life for a dog.

All treats and belly rubs.

- And sitting down withthe four-legged stars.

- Feel like you got one in ya, boss dog?

(barking)

- [Efrem] Dennis Quaid, big star,

what's you're favoritepart of working with him?

- [Man] Oh, I love Dennis.

He's my favorite personto play catch with.

- It's a behind-the-scenes treat

you won't want to miss.

If you could have your choice of

a favorite food, what would it be?

- [Man] Bacon, bacon, bacon, popcorn.

(barking)

- Hi, Gloria.- It's good to see you.

- [Man] Ethan and Hannah, finally.

- Well, hello, who's this?

Hello.- Ethan, it's me, Bailey.

- We all love watching thisfilm, and we're crying.

How did you feel about it?

- [Man] Oh, I had ablast, are you kidding me?

- That story and so muchmore is coming up next week.

I certainly hope you'll join us for that.

As for the Final Word for this show,

coming to you from Rwanda,

we're giving that to the program director

for this country's largesthumanitarian organization.

It's a lesson in forgiveness.

- Forgiveness has beenone of the cornerstone

of bringing this countrywhere we are today.

Without forgiveness, we couldhave experienced revenge.

Without forgiveness, wecould have gone through

the same cycle of killing one another.

Without forgiveness we couldn't experience

the healing we have.

Forgiveness gives back life.

When I ride through this city, I see hope,

I see brightness.

I think tomorrow.

That was not my initial thoughts in 1994.

We were just lookingfor today and that's it.

But today we are able to think tomorrow.

- The bottom line hereis forgiveness frees you.

That is a great Final Wordfor this edition of Studio 5,

coming to you from the capitalcity of Rwanda, Kagali.

Until next time, make timeto uplift someone else,

and then you come on back

and see where Studio5 takes you next week.

Bye-bye everybody.
