Description: Straddling the border between Rwanda and Burundi, Lake Rweru is a body of water whose quiet surface belies a complex story of geology, ecology, and human endeavor. This richly layered exploration traces the lake's deep-time origins and its vital place in the Akagera river system, while bringing to life the communities who have fished its waters and settled its shores for generations. Along the way, it examines the delicate politics of a shared frontier and the mounting environmental pressures shaping Rweru's future. A compelling portrait of a little-known lake at the heart of East Africa.
