STANDFAST PRODUCTIONS...: A Mother's Love

A Mother's Love

“A Mother’s Love” is the extraordinary story of Rosamond Carr, born in Orange County, New Jersey, who as a young woman was a fashion illustrator in New York. She moved to Rwanda in 1949, with her husband, an English big game hunter and filmmaker. Up until her death aged 94, she ran an orphanage in the country that has been her home for the last 55 years.

For many years she made her living as a flower farmer, until driven out of her adopted country by the 1994 genocide. She spent three months in America, an exile in the land of her birth, before returning with a determination to open an orphanage. Alone, and with a humanity borne out of love, she succeeded, shedding some light in impossibly dark times.
