The film has recently been screened for the first time in Kigali to an audience including people who appeared in it.

Reading and writing while waiting for the wash to finish, is a scheme that's catching on as more and more women flock to the launderette to become literate. 49 Years in Soap Eileen Fulton, the original bad girl of American TV soap "As The World Turns" tells us what its like to play the same part for forty nine years.
