Documentary on the 1994 Rwanda Genocide. Hutu extremists were all but unopposed and ran amok all over the country, butchering eight hundred thousand Tutsis and Hutu moderates over a three-month period. Contains interview footage with General Roméo Dallaire (ret)., the Canadian commander of UNAMIR whose hands were badly tied by a weak-willed UN that didn't want to allow the use of force to stem the carnage. I have gone to see General Dallaire speak and have met him, and would have been proud to serve in his command. I also worked closely with his son and his daughter, both of whom are also in the military, and I firmly believe what I said to her: "I think your father is a good man who did everything he could in a very difficult situation". General Dallaire came back from the mission suicidal with severe PTSD but fortunately appears to have rallied; he is a Senator now and speaks regularly at Canadian universities.

jonnyA note on the title - I think you mean PBS Frontline, not CBS. (If only the major networks would produce shows of this caliber, as opposed to the tripe they consistently spew out.)
Here is the online companion site with a lot of extended interviews, etc.
If you have links for all of the chapters, you can create a playlist on YT and sift it yourself - this has been blessed as not self-linking.
calvadosoops, quite right jonny. I'll get on the playlist thing too, thanks for the suggestion.
EDIT: ok, YT playlist is made, can't figure out how to sift it tho. Anybody? Bueller?
jonnyIf you view the playlist on your YT account, there should be embed code for the playlist itself to the right of the list of vids. Just use that instead of the embed code for a single vid. Note you have to click through to the specific playlist, not the page listing your playlists.
calvadosyeah, no, I see the embed code for the playlist I made -- it's just that I try Sifting that code and it gets rejected. no joy. other help?
jonnyoh... perhaps the embed width is too big? Is there a particular error message?
[edit] yeah, I think it's probably the width - I just created a playlist for it too, and the width is 530. Just make sure you maintain the aspect ratio by reducing the height appropriately (should be about 350 if you set width to 500).
calvadosno dice, jonny. ah well -- the remaining 11 sequential "chapters" are easily found on YT, people!
jonnyyep - easy enough to follow.
calvadosboom! playlist working now. thanks again bud!
RedSkyThis is exactly why the new US president, whoever it may be, cannot turtle into an isolationist policy.
