Merrell invited us on an unforgettable journey to Rwanda to film stories of the communities living along the Congo Nile Trail — a 141-mile path winding around the shores of Lake Kivu. More than just a trail, it’s a project built to bring people together in a country still healing and rebuilding after the 1994 genocide. Beyond attracting visitors and building tourism, the trail aims to be a connective tissue between the many vibrant communities living along its shores.
