"If I save my life and if all of these people who sleep on the floor and the lobby of the hotel are killed, what will I say one day to history? To start with, my own conscience would never have been quiet throughout my life. And secondly I wouldn't see myself as a gentleman and sit around the table and share a drink with the men, as we say in Rwanda. No, it would have been a shame forever." - Paul Rusesabagina

Hollywood Reporter Review: Both tough and tender, the movingly rendered production often strikes a devastating chord without resorting to any of the manipulative string-pulling known to accompany movies about "men who made a difference."

The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda

Shake Hands With The Devil: The Documentary

 




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, almost 1 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. Harrowing and deeply moving, Hotel Rwanda is his story.
