Hotel Rwanda
Amid the holocaust of internecine tribal fighting in Rwanda that sees the wanton and savage butchering of hundreds of thousands of men, women and children, one ordinary man (Don Cheadle) musters the courage to save more than 1,000 helpless refugees by sheltering them in the hotel he manages.

Based on the true story of one man's brave stance against savagery during the 1994 Rwandan conflict. When a hotel manager sees that the world will not intervene in the massacre of minority Tutsis, he finds the courage to open his hotel to over 1,200 refugees. Now, with a rabid militia at the gates, he has only his wits and words to help keep them alive.It's worth seeing - Cat37
The movie is done in a way not to horrify the viewer of horrible things. The result of hatred and intolerance. A painful reminder of what we are capable of doing. Great performances by all. The movie keeps the viewer interested and great bonus features. History is hard to deny when you see it with your own eyes.Quite hard...and touching. - Kurumachan
If anyone has not been following up on the events in Rwanda...this is quite the eye opener. A hard movie to watch, emotionally trying, but definitely one that needs to be seen! Great acting, directing, and a representation of a reality we all try to look away from...
