Hotel Rwanda
My Review:
Based on real life events. Don Cheadle stars as a hotel manager owned by a Belgium company in war-torn Rwanda. As turmoil turns to violence in this country, the hotel becomes a reluctant refugee camp. Cheadle gives a career-making performance. There is lots of violence, and some graphic scenes. But at the heart is the strong relationship of husband and wife, and the love that they have for their family and fellow man. Remarkably well done. A tragic, yet triumphant, story that needed to be told.
Hotel Rwanda
- -Inspired by true events, this film takes place in Rwanda in the 1990s when more than a million Tutsis were killed in a genocide that went mostly unnoticed by the rest of the world. Hotel owner Paul Rusesabagina houses over a thousand refuges in his hotel in attempt to save their lives.
