Hotel Rwanda
Ten years ago some of the worst atrocities in the history of mankind took place in the country of Rwanda--and in an era of high-speed communication and round the clock news, the events went almost unnoticed by the rest of the world. In only three months, one million people were brutally murdered. In the face of these unspeakable actions, inspired by his love for his family, an ordinary man summons extraordinary courage to save the lives of over a thousand helpless refugees, by granting them shelter in the hotel he manages.

We hope we can get the DVD of the film from one of the lending libraries here and see the film.

At the end of the genocide, the pessimist stated that there is nothing left anymore. The optimist referred to the situation with a sigh and said we will always find some more!
-from somewhere in the Shirer book.
Mind boggling movie. Dark yet inspiring.
Don’t thing I cried but the scene with the finding of kids, something…
