The most powerful film I've ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2005)

I am a young human rights activist and I was able to see a special screening of the film last night with the Director, Terry George, present for a Q and A session afterward.
This movie is the most powerful film i have ever seen. No film has ever invoked rage and fear the way that Hotel Rwanda did. It shed light on an event that was not really covered very well here in the states and it made everyone more aware of how problems like these arise and snowball. For anyone who needs to understand the severity of the Rwandan Genocide that occurred in 1994 or to see how it now parallels what is becoming the next Rwanda in the Western Sudan today, this is the movie to see. I would not recommend it for anyone under the age of 15 not because of the visual violence, it is not entirely full of gore or blood, but the feelings that it invokes from the audience may be more than a 14 year old or anyone else who is younger could deal with. No one in the theater left the room without crying at least once. It is a must see for anyone who is concerned about Human rights, and how to avoid such atrocities from ever happening again.
