Ten years ago some of the worst atrocities in the history of mankind took place in the country of Rwanda. In three months, one million people were brutally murdered. Based on a true story, Hotel Rwanda depicts the heroic actions of Paul Rusesabagina, (Don Cheadle) who risked his life
to save Tutsis and Hutus marked for death during the Rwandan massacre. Using his connections as a four-star hotel manager, Paul cajoles, bribes and blackmails military and government officials in his frantic efforts to rescue as many people as he can. This succeeds as riveting drama. It is not about hotel management, but about heroism and survival. The film works not because the screen is filled with special effects and action, but because Cheadle, Nolte and the filmmakers are interested in how two men choose to function in an impossible situation. A moving film showing extraordinary courage.
