About Beautifully Broken:

"Beautifully Broken" is based on the true story of two families from different worlds, each facing a crisis beyond their control. As their lives cross, together they find hope rising out of tragedy. This journey reveals the divine tapestry of God's love and guidance, where they learn first-hand the power of forgiveness and reconciliation, and the healing that comes from helping others. A refugee's escape, a prisoner's promise, and a daughter's painful secret converge in this inspiring real life story of hope. As three fathers fight to save their families, their lives become intertwined in an unlikely journey across the globe, where they learn the healing power of forgiveness and reconciliation.

In 1994, the Mwizerwa family lived through the horrific genocide in Rwanda where nearly one million people were killed in just one hundred days - including their parents and most members of their extended families. By the grace of God, William's family (his wife, Ebralie, and their four children) survived the massacre. Running from their home without taking anything, they made a dangerous journey to Nairobi, Kenya. William came to the United States in May of 1998 and became very active at First Presbyterian Church in Nashville.
