"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

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.
