Hotel Rwanda

[PolkThug]

Damn good movie! Everyone should see this.

Really good PQ too.

....I'll second the thumbs up on this.
Very well done, very believable, and very disturbing how the civilized nations turned their backs.
Have to admit I knew very little about what happened in Rwanda.

Same here, I had no idea of the magnitude of the slaughter. Very sad that this is a true story (except for what Paul was able to accomplish).

Just goes to show that the western world just doesn't care. This is in no way directed to you but I'm blaming the whole public opinion. If people would care this would have seen more coverage and people would know what happened. The reporter hit the nail in the head when he said "people will see this, think "oh, that's terrible" and then go on eating their dinners".

I was watching this with 3 friends. My ex-gf and her sister-in-law who are both black africans, and my co-worker who is a white/arab african. My ex had seen this one before and she was laughing at the comment "You're not even a nigger. You're African." and how true it was.

Both of those quotes stuck with me too, sad but true.

If there was oil there, this wouldn't have happened to the extent that it did, IMO.
