description: "My name is Paul Ruseabaginia. I am a hotel manager. In April 1994, when a wave of mass murder broke out in my country, I was able to hide 1,268 inside the hotel where I worked."On 6 April 1994 mobs with machetes turned into cold-blooded murderers, and commenced a slaughter of 800,000 civilians in just 100 days. Paul tells his story and explores the complexity of Rwanda's history and the insanity that turned neighbours and friends into killers.
