Ten years ago some of the worst atrocities in the history of mankind took place in the country of Rwanda--and in an era of high-speed communication and round the clock news, the events went almost unnoticed by the rest of the world. In only three months, one million people were brutally murdered. In the face of these unspeakable actions, inspired by his love for his family, an ordinary man summons extraordinary courage to save the lives of over a thousand helpless refugees, by granting them shelter in the hotel he manages.
Don Cheadle plays the man who was like the Osca Shindler of the latest conflict in Rwanda. This film is remarkable, extremely well acted and politically aware. Great script. Paints the UN in a very poor light, a perception they will have to live with given their appaling lack of intervention in this situation. A tremendous story, based on realy life events. Highly recommended.
Don Cheadle and this film both deserved every acolade they received, and more, for this unforgettable film. In a world where few people could care less about a hotel full of refugees, one man manages to hold troops and bay and negotiate the conditions of life for hundreds of people who relied on him to live.
