The power

Rating: 10/10 (11 February 2007)

Hotel Rwanda is one of the most powerful films; made even more so by the current crisis in Darfur, which has been compared to that of the Rwandan genocide, and where thousands of innocent civilians are being slaughtered by various factions in society. The film does so much more than make you cry incessantly for the most part of it; more than anything, it involves YOU. It makes you enraged and disgraced, to know that the international community stood by and did nothing for these people. Moreso, it forces you to ACT on humanitarian catastrophes which are taking place right now, and to consider whether you are similarly standing by to watch. Hotel Rwanda is a brilliant film which should be seen by everyone.
