This movie is very intense. I am glad I saw it once, but there is too much killing and cadavers all over the place to watch it more than once. This is about the genocide of the Tutsi population by the Hutu. The Hutu controlled the government fighting the rebels. The rebels succeeded in killing the president which triggered the killing. Paul Resesabagina (Don Cheadle) manages a hotel where many Tutsi come to avoid the war. His wife, Tatiana (Sophie Okonedo) takes up supporting the orphans who show up. The U.N. Colonel Oliver (Nick Nolte) provides all the support he can, and in the end helps them get away to the U.N. reception area. They keep searching for Sophie's brother and her wife who have gone missing. They never are able to find them, but they do find their daughters at the reception center. Joaquin Phoenix plays a t.v. reporter.
