Bringing Ice Cream to Rwanda

The Brian Lehrer Show | Nov 4, 2013

Sweet Dreams is a documentary about a group of Rwandan women who, after forming the first female drumming troupe in the country, set their sights on opening Rwanda's first ice cream shop. We speak with the film's co-director/producer Rob Fruchtman as well as Alexis Miesen, co-founder of Blue Marble Ice Cream in Brooklyn and executive director of the nonprofit Blue Marble Dreams who traveled to Rwanda and helped the women start their shop.
