Kigali, Rwanda.
"- Everybody talked about it at a certain point. Do I believe it really happened or that it was actually here? Hmm, I am not sure.
- So, do you think it's true?
- I can only describe it from what I've seen on television. A huge pointy element that pierced the ground. And the earth around it... tshrrgg! [makes gestures] fell everywhere. Disturbing the peace, disturbing the status quo, the way things are."
