More people should see this movie

Rating: Null/10 (17 March 2005)

I think it's a shame that this movie didn't win best movie at the Oscars. I really had my hopes up for it, not because I consider the Oscars that much of a deal but, because at least more people would've been interested in watching it. It is sad that people just don't know what happened in Rwanda in 1994, and that still are completely ignorant about what continues to happen in Africa. In cases like this you can't help but wonder if everything that the current US government says about helping other nations be "free" is just B.S. and realize that in cases like Africa there are no political or economical interests for them to intervene. This movie really makes you understand what people went through and how we thought in current years a thing like this wouldn't happen and it actually did without anyone doing anything about it. I also have to say, Don Cheadle's performance is amazing.
