Powerful

Rating: Null/10 (5 February 2005)

Hotel Rwanda is a very powerful movie which is not easy to watch. The genocide which occurred in 1994 was one of the most horrifying events to happen in recent years and it went virtually unnoticed by most of the world. Paul Rusesabagina was an ordinary man who didn't really want to get involved, but was forced by the events to make impossible decisions. Don Cheadle's performance is amazing as he demonstrates Paul's extraordinary courage and compassion. You do not watch this movie without feeling incredible sadness for the people of Rwanda (both Hutu and Tutsi) and you leave hoping that by putting this difficult story on film, the producers may encourage us learn how to prevent any type of genocide again.
