Director Statement

Through the three stages of using a drug , (The pre-using anxiety ,the high euphoria and the paranoia of coming down)
Injiji explores the importance of words in our Rwandan psyche through footages of people in their daily lives(reality) in contrast with a fictional concept of an idealist poet/drug dealer trying to sell his esoteric secrets / drugs to the mass like Prometheus bringing fire to the people but no one is interested , what would he do with the fire?
