One could believe that a person who "starts" a movement such as the Toronto Raptor's CEO, Masai Ujiri did in Rwanda some 15 years ago would be short lived. One could also surmise that there must be an agenda behind his purpose of going to Rwanda each year to spearhead a movement for the youth of Rwanda's two main political opponents to join forces on the basketball court and play as one team, and put their hate for one another behind them. Easier said then done.
Well Masai has returned to Rwanda each year for the past 15 years and through his personal leadership this documentary provides proof that if you stick to your beliefs they can come to fruition. Yes, one can understand that this W5 episode also has a hidden agenda and would not dare reflect any negative aspects by including any person(s) who may want to object to the Toronto Raptors CEO utilizing his position with the organization to promote the Raptors and/or himself. But remember Masai has been going to Rwanda since 2003 and he only joined the Raptors on On May 31, 2013, ten years after he initiated his program. The program is now engaged in Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya and Rwanda.
The story of this not for profit Giants of Africa movement has now been around for 15 years and I hope W5 will do a follow up program and focus on a few individuals who have advanced from a young age into men of character after participating in the Giants of Africa program. I felt this particular episode was not only inspirational but motivational in an effort to stop fighting one another (to the point of genocide in Rwanda) and to start relying on one another for a better world, a more loving human race.
