A modern day Schindler's List, spectacular human rights film.

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2005)

A modern day Schildler's List, a spectacular human rights film with an outstanding cast. You're doing yourself a favor by going to this movie and witnessing just how much one man gave up to save lives, while oppressing forces were almost inhumanly vile. Truly Oscar-worthy performances by Don Cheadle, Sophie Okonedo, and Nick Nolte; with probably several more nominations in other fields besides just acting. Based on the true story of the genocide in Rwanda in 1994, it has its powerful, almost hard-to-stomach violence in idea only, there isn't a whole lot in the way of on-screen gore, just the idea of it. With special focus given to both international generosity and apathy regarding these real-life events, it really does reach valuable points most movies forget about.
