Feeling the Game: Rwanda’s blind sports reporter

On and off the pitch, Rwandan sports activities reporter Leonidas’ blindness neither defines nor deters him from the job he loves.

Leonidas Ndayisaba is a sports activities journalist in Kigali, Rwanda. He covers video games, analyses staff administration, discusses participant transfers and feedback on the motion on and off the pitch.

He sits within the soccer stadium, absorbing the ambiance whereas his colleagues describe the play to him – as a result of Leonidas is sort of absolutely blind.

He has had little or no sight since childhood and may solely see giant shapes. However his blindness neither defines nor discourages him from his ardour for the game.

Samuel Ishimwe is a filmmaker based mostly in Rwanda. His quick commencement movie received the Silver Bear on the Berlin Worldwide Movie Competition and different awards together with an Alexa Award at Palm Spring Worldwide ShortFest.
