WOW!! A Must-See docudrama

Rating: Null/10 (2 March 2005)

This film is almost beyond words.
It's obviously a docudrama of the genocide in Rwanda -- and the response (and lack of response) of the rest of the world to the "people who are not me." (It's obviously also a wakeup call to be aware of other parallel situations.)
This film garnered many awards from many groups, including top picture at the Toronto Film Festival. (That's made me highly value the TFF over the Academy Awards.)
If you'll GOOGLE the name of the central character, "Paul R____"(?), you'll find many stories that expand and elaborate on the film and ALL of which confirm ALL the premises of the film. I found http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/574/574554p1.html to be one of the best although all carried the same central message -- adherence to the central truth of the story.
This film does two things.
It clearly faces us with the worldwide responsibility we all face with the consequences of ignoring "man's inhumanity to man" wherever and to whomever it occurs. ".... Therefore, never send to ask for whom the bell doth toll; it tolls for thee."
It also confronts each of us with what -- as individuals -- we could do, would do, when faced with moral situations.
Excellent film. IMPORTANT film. Very well done. Superb acting. Faithful story telling.
11 of 10.
