Hotel Rwanda
During the Rwandan Civil War of the 1990s, upwards of 1 million Tutsi were slaughtered in an act of genocide. “Hotel Rwanda” tells the true story of Paul Rusesabagina, a hotel manager who used his facility to house thousands of refugees during the conflict. The film, anchored with startling dignity by Don Cheadle, examines the unbearable heartbreak and humanity in these actions, while also digging into the corrupt socioeconomic realities that allowed them to happen.
