"...A place where hope survived."

Hotel Rwanda (2004)
Directed by Terry George, rated PG-13, 121 minutes

Hotel Rwanda is an unbelievably moving and challenging film that tells the true story of a hotel manager who houses over a thousand Tutsi refugees, to protect the from Hutu militia during the Rwandan genocide. The film portrays a dark moment of history, and doesn't shy away from the horrors of the time. However, this hotel manager provides a glimpse of hope. Don Cheadle is perfect in the lead as an ordinary man pushed to do great things. Hotel Rwanda is a powerful film that can't help but inspire and impress you.
