Anti-UN and Western World

Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2005)

During the course of this movie the scenes of Genocide and the actions committed by the UN and the Western World create a sense of direct friction from the people in Rwanda that need help and the world who will idly stand by and watch the atrocities form their T.V.s. When I the theater i thought to myself about why the world never did anything to interject. At the time this went on my father was in the Army and i was unable to vote. Why did you people not act? My father asks why as well he was willing to go there and give his life in order to stop the mass genocide. I blame the fact that this movie is so empowering on the failings of those that had a voice during that time. If you are one of thoughs people then i hold you responsible for not acting. As the movie displayed individual people did act and made a difference, why didn't the individual people here make a difference. Namely Bill Clinton, he could have done something about this but he was afraid of political opinion with out the backing of the UN. He was a afraid of another Somalia event, which by record wasn't really that bad, it's the basic fact that America doesn't except that when one joins the Military the are forced to sign a paper stating that there is the possibility that they will get in harm's way and that the will possibly die because of it. Hopefully this movie will open peoples eyes and the will see the failings of ourselves. but unfortunately when i saw the movie there where 6 other people in the theater excluding myself and my friends. I encourage everyone to see this movie and may it reflect upon their lives and their attitude toward the world, because there is Genocide going on now in the Sudan and they need our aid.
