A moving film that sees the situation from a human perspective

Rating: Null/10 (6 March 2005)

I loved this film. After living in Sub Saharan Africa for many years it was refreshing to see a film that portrayed people there as humans rather than caricatures. It also should shame us in the West for the complacency over situations there, often caused by our own selfish politics.
This film intersperses the sadness and tension with wonderful flashes of humour and little touches that remind us that people are people even in the most horrific circumstances. The film also assumes no prior knowledge of the reasons behind the genocide, but explains the situation in a way that is understandable and natural rather than getting in the way of the narrative.
See this film, if it moves you great, but if it causes you to question why the West can treat large populations of the world as less than human then even better!
