in Paul's words

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2009)

"This movie is supposed to tell the truth of what has happened in Rwanda so that what has happened in our country might not happen anywhere else in the world. It is a good reason it is supposed to be a good reason to the international community for them at least to one day if this such another situation they could say let us not make the same mistakes as we did in Rwanda." Paul Rusesabagina The film succeeds with that mission...whether the message is paid heed or not. I understood this film was made to depict what actually happened in Rwanda in 1994 to tell Paul's story of what life was like as a Hutu assistant hotel manager elevated to manager which the viewer could only have experienced in a nightmare while asleep.
