Something everyone should watch!

Rating: 10/10 (5 November 2005)

I first heard about this movie when I was in college. The class I took was called Genocide literature... most of it was focused on the Holocaust, but the genocide that struck me was the one in Rwanda. No one ever talks about these things because no doubt it's a very hard subject, but the thing that sucks was the fact the Rwandan genocide was never shown on the news or the fact that the United Nations did very little in Rwanda.This movie about a hotel manager who saved over a thousand Hutu and Tutsi refugees is very much like Oskar Schlinder who saved over a thousand Jews during the holocaust. If you want to see more about genocide I strongly recommend that you watch Schlinder's List (this movie has many similarities to Hotel Rwanda) and Ararat (this one is about the Armenian genocide that happened during World War I). I give this movie a 10 out of 10 because it was very well done and the fact that there were some excellent actors.
