Hotel Rwanda


The Movie Hotel Rwanda it’s very sad. Paul Rusesabagina is a hotel manager at the hotel Rwanda, him and his wife that are from different tribes which she is endanger but he promises his wife that he will protect the family he loved ,and ended up finding the courage to save over 1200 people. Paul, secretly used his position and intelligence to shelter over a thousand refugees during the genocide crisis. While the rest of the world closed its eyes, Paul was very brave; it was great that he help his family but helped the community also.The movie is based on the Rwandan Genocide which was unfortunate a true story. The Rwandan genocide started in late march 1994, when the Rwandan president Habyarimana was assassinated. The Hutu that were the major ethnic group of the country blamed the Tutsi who were another ethnic group in power; The slaughtering began that same day and in two months more the 500,000 Tutsis had been exterminated by the Hutu while the United Nations and the U.S stood by and did nothing to stop the massacres. Is very sad that events like this are still happening 12 years later, like the Genocide in Sudan where Muslims are killing Christians. But well like I say hopefully someday the people that use that ignorance will all see that we’re all the same no matter how different we may seem. The movie impacted me a lot because it’s hard to watch it knowing that it did happen, because when we watch a scary movie we may get scare but we think of it as it isn’t real but this was, it was very sad watching those hard moments because I know people had to go trough that. The Rwandan was a tragic event that will hopefully open the eyes of those who still think that way and made those realize that ignorance and self hatred needs to end.
