Samuel Mugisha

As a boy growing up, Samuel Mugisha dreamed of being a part of the Rwandan national cycling team, Team Rwanda, as he believed it would be a way to help make money for his family. What he discovered was something else entirely. In a country trying to get over the trauma of a genocide, Team Rwanda represents a lot more than sport.

After falling short of his athletic dreams, a once-promising Ugandan runner rediscovers purpose - using the power of sport to rebuild his broken community and to honour his trainer’s life.
