Hotel Rwanda
Role of Conflict and Power
Genocide
This is a movie that is unforgettable in it's accurate portrayal of human brutality. In 1994 when Rwanda descended into the bloody madness of genocide Paul Ruseasabagina (Don Cheadle) was reasonably secure in his process. He belonged to the Hutu majority that was slaughtering the minority with machetes and he was the manger of the five-star Hotel Milles Collines in Kigali. But his wife, Tatiana (Sophie Okonedo), is Tutsi and the Tutsi are not only being called "cockroaches" on the nonstop incendiary radio broadcasts they are being exterminated like them. Not only are his wife and children in danger, so is the rest of his family and so are the guests in his hotel.
Paul was able to save 1,268 lives
Georges and the General were tried for
war crimes in 2002
