Roger Remera

Community Outreach Worker

Roger is a documentary/filmmaker and focuses his work on human rights issues around the world. He wants to fight ignorance and injustice by telling the untold stories of the voiceless through his lenses. His hope is that people will learn from people in conflict zones around the world. He is especially interested in Africa where he is from as a survivor of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide.

His experience in America has been in the humanitarian sector, where he worked with different non-profits organizations. Mr. Remera’s work has included education with the American Friends Service Committee in the Peace Building Unit-Africa Program in Philadelphia. Roger has been working as a mitigation specialist for the Center for Capital Assistance where he conducts defense investigations for people who are standing trial for murder or who are on death row. Simultaneously, he worked as a psychology technician/interviewer in a neuropsychology practice also focused on mitigation of penalty phase murder convictions and appeals.

Mr. Remera was an invited speaker to the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland when they re-launched the United Nations Moratorium on Executions. He has also spoken on college campuses and in school classrooms.
