Powerful movie.

Rating: Null/10 (13 March 2005)

This movie is so powerful and the fine cast of actors are so compelling and provide a moving performance. How could the world let this terror happen in Rwanda? By pretending that somehow the African lives were not worthy. Don Cheadle portrays the hotel manager with such dignity, trying to keep calm in the face of the most distressing circumstances. Go see this movie. Haunting, sad but uplifting. This reaffirms my faith in the African continent. Most times we hear of the many who wreak such havoc and terror on their people but we need to be reminded that there are many Africans who strive to maintain the age old tradition of loving thy neighbor and extending kindness to others.
As a west African (Sierra Leone), I thank the director for choosing to bring this story to the big screen. We cannot hide from the truth and continue to pray this never happens again. Thank you Don Cheadle for your part in this important story that needed to be told.
