EPISODE 02 · Kigali, Rwanda · BEHIND THE SYSTEM
Delivered by Air
19 minTHE FILM
When the roads can't get there in time, the blood arrives by drone. We went to the one country that decided to rebuild itself the way you would architect a system.
Rwanda flies medical supplies to remote clinics by autonomous drone — the first nation on Earth to make it routine — and that is only the visible edge of a country run with the deliberateness of software. We meet the engineers, the clinicians, and the citizens of a place that chose, after the worst of its history, to design itself on purpose, and ask what is gained and what is surrendered when a country runs on schedule.
