While Western governments warned their diplomats to avoid the use of the word "genocide" in their memos, and the U.N. ignored pleas for reinforcements and supplies - almost one million Rwandans were systematically killed over a period of 100 days.

During the massacres, the US - still smarting from Somalia - chose not to get involved in "tribal conflicts." The Belgians recalled their UN peacekeepers. The French welcomed Rwandan government representatives responsible for the genocide to Paris with open arms.

The world watched. And Africa learned that "never again" didn't include Africans.

Hotel Rwanda proves that even in the midst of Hell, humanity and integrity and selflessness can still exist.

Shake Hands With The Devil on its surface tells the story of Romeo Dallaire, who led the UN forces during the Rwandan genocide. But it paints a picture that should shame the world.
