The World Needs To See This

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2005)

I found myself in tears many times during the showing of this film, and for good reason. I think the producers/director ought to consider adding a statement at the end, pointing to the fact that this sort of genocide continues even today; not in Rwanda, but in Sudan. The world needs to wake up to the fact that this atrociousness is not consigned to the past, as in Hitler or to Albanians or American Indians, but to Serbs and Croatians and in the 90s, the Tutsis and now in Darfur. Don Cheadle is to be lauded and commended and hopefully presented with award after award for his incredible heartfelt and moving performance. And the rest of the cast lived up to and surpassed expectations as well. Mind blowing.
