Truly A Film Everyone Should See

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2005)

In my sophomore year of college, I write a paper for my English class about the Rwandan genocide. I was well versed and knowledgeable about the atrocities that went on in April of 1994. I was, however, not prepared for the wide array of emotions felt by watching this film. The human cost of watching this film is astounding. As a member of the audience you will be terrified and enraged at the lack of concern given to the Rwandan people by the world community. But over and above the all, it is a story that needed to be told. Don Cheadle gives a performance which is only matched by the film greats. The story itself is the cinematic portrayal of humanity, both the ugly and the beautiful. As a member of the human race, you are obligated to see this film, if for no other reason then to know what happened so we can prevent it in the future. SEE THIS FILM!!!
