I saw a special presentation of this moving starring Don Cheadle last night and it was phenomenal! Don Cheadle did a wonderful job and there is already Oscar buzz surrounding the film.
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.
I encourage EVERYONE to see this movie. It'll be in select theatres December 22nd and I believe it'll be released nationwide in January 2005.
