Hotel Rwanda
25 April 2005, the wee hours
Dave, Mezan, Martha and I watched Hotel Rwanda late Saturday night. The film is of course about the Genocide in Rwanda. Don Cheadle plays the manager of a 4-star hotel in Rwanda who works to save the lives of 1200 or so Tutsis who are taking refuge in his hotel. The film was done really well, and deserves all the praise it got. Hotel Rwanda might have been a more life affirming film if there wasn’t another genocide in the making taking place in the Sudan. It’s a little bit sad that in all this time, so little has changed.
