Wonderful!

1) Cheadle was amazing...I believe that any other year he would have won the Oscar.
2) The film did a very good job of interpreting the situation. It explained the intricacy of the foreign policy that was going on at the time in a way that most people should have been able to understand (i.e. that UN peace keeping officers cannot fire guns, the UN charter does not allow unilateral interventions by countries who want to help) The only thing that would have made this film more powerful was if it had shown some of the more gruesome atrocities...I believe that is one of the key elements that made Schindler's List a perfect film.
Finally, I am so glad this film was made because I thought that, for sure, the Rwandan crisis was never going to be felt by western society. The filmmakers should be commended by the international community for their work, and by the motion picture industry for the masterpiece.
