Hotel Rwanda is a movie based on a true story. The story is about a man named Paul Ruesabagina, who made it his personal mission to save as many Tutsi people as he could. The movie starts in the year 1994 and takes place at Mille Collines, during this time the Hutu militia is trying to take over the government. The Hutu rioters wanted to rid their country of all Tutsi people. The Hutu massacred over 500,000 people, just because of who they were. It was a Genocide. The Hutu focused on killing the children in order to wipe out the next generation. Paul who is a Hutu is married to a Tutsi and spends the whole movie trying to keep her safe; along with his children.
I thought that the movie was interesting but disturbing. It was horrifying what was happening and how no one wanted to help. The countries that did not help should be ashamed of themselves. Knowing that Innocent women and children were being slaughtered was extremely unnerving and difficult to watch.
