Hotel Rwanda is a 2004 biographical and historical drama film about the Rwandan Genocide, directed by Irish filmmaker Terry George. It is a co-production between Canadian, British, Italian, and South African companies, and the first ever co-production between the rival independent film studios Lions Gate Films and United Artists. It was filmed mostly in South Africa, with some second unit filming in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda.

The movie is based on the true events that took place during the genocidal violence that erupted in Rwanda between the Hutu and Tutsi ethnic groups in 1994. The central character is Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle), a Hutu who managed the four-star Sabena-owned Hôtel des Mille Collines in Kigali.

Good movie. It also illustrates the failure of the international community to respond to the kind of crisis' they claimed to prevent, an attitude that still carries today.

Until Blood Diamond came along, this was one of the best illustrations of the horrors of modern war in Africa.

I hate that the media response comes always years after the fact, the conflict diamond problem has been eliminated with the introduction of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, reminder trade is illegal and black market.

Am guessing in a couple of years we will see a movie based on the Darfur conflict.
