Devastating!

Rating: Null/10 (26 February 2005)

The genocide in Rwanda in 1994 was overlooked by the world who have no excuses this time to do something about the genocide in Sudan that is currently taking place as this review is being written. We need a constant reminder that the world's genocide does nothing to solve anyone's problems and 'Hotel Rwanda' casts a positive light on one citizen of Rwanda.....a man named Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle), a hotel manger in Rwanda who saved over 1200 people from the genocide by sheltering them in his hotel. Aided by his wife (Sophie Okonedo) a UN general (Nick Nolte), and his staff, Rusesabagina became an important hero that has rightly been characterized in this film by director Terry George and one hopes this film will be remembered as importantly as 1984's 'The Killing Fields'.
