Hotel Rwanda

Just back from seeing this film with an audience of NGO and UN people. The story is well known and this film tells it well - it would be a draining experience at the best of times, but given where I am working, how Burundi and Rwanda’s problems share common roots and how the repercussions of the genocide are still being felt today, its effect is magnified. Even then it can’t convey the enormity of what happened only 11 years ago. One not to miss.
