How life circumstances beyond their control caused a daughter and dear friends to be "Beautifully Broken". This true story is a movie and memoir, a vivid, first-person reminder of how deeply involved God is around the globe. In it, you find the Mwizerwas, who narrowly escaped genocide in Rwanda in 1994, and the Hartleys, who found redemption after helping their teenaged daughter heal from the trauma of sexual assault.

“Beautifully Broken is a powerful story of redemption and a moving depiction of how God interweaves our stories with others’ for His glory.”

—Michael W. Smith, Grammy Award-winning Music Artist

Long before the two families' paths crossed, William and Ebralie Mwizerwa fled Rwanda after 100 harrowing days of violent conflict within the nation’s borders. During this time, more than one million Rwandans were brutally murdered by the militia. It was a genocide that Rwandans have never forgotten, and one William and Ebralie were fortunate to have survived. From this harrowing journey, the Mwizerwas settled in Nashville, Tennessee and began providing resources to help other refugees through their non-profit, Legacy Mission Village.

Unbeknownst to the Mwizerwas, their paths would soon cross with Nashville natives, the Hartley family. The Hartleys were dealt a devastating blow when their teenaged daughter, Andrea Hartley, became the victim of sexual assault. This traumatic experience caused her to turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms and rebel. As the Hartleys tried to help their daughter reclaim her life after this unthinkable incident, Andrea found hope largely through serving children and families in need at Nashville’s Legacy Mission Village, the non-profit refugee support center founded by the Mwizerwas.

After meeting, the two families' stories became even further intertwined on a trip to Rwanda. In preparation for meeting her sponsor child in person, Andrea and her family invited their new friends the Mwizerwas to come along to Rwanda as translators. During the visit, the Mwizerwas reconnected with family and friends, yet tragically discovered unspeakable horrors their family members had suffered in the years they’d been apart. This included the revelation that a relative was involved in William’s mother’s death. This forced William into a spiritual quest to forgive that would alter his perspective and change his faith forever.

Through this beautifully textured saga of a father fighting to save his daughter and another father fighting to save his family from genocide, we are reminded again and again of God’s redeeming providence in the midst of even the most unspeakable circumstances and the mysterious blessings in being beautifully broken.

"We go through our life trying to hide our scars. So people have asked me many times, how could you put your personal story out there. If it was broken, I wouldn't, but being beautifully broken... We try to hide our scars, but there are other people that have been scarred as bad as us. I think back to the Bible after the crucifixion when Jesus came from his resurrection and he met his disciples for the first time, what's one of the first things He did? He showed them His scars. He didn't show them the scars to remind them of the pain. He showed them the scars to remind them of his victory over that pain. Not to compare myself to that, but why do I show the scars of our family? Because it is to remind people, to let people know that there is a victory over that pain. There is a victory over those scars. And it is a beautiful one.

Sometimes you might feel lost. But I promise you, when you feel lost, God is laying a trail you just can't see yet. So persevere." - Randy Hartley
