Hotel Rwanda
2004
****
Director: Terry George
Cast: Don Cheadle, Sophie Okonedo, Nick Nolte, Joaquin Phoenix, Fana Mokoena
This emotional human drama about Rwandan civil war is based on real events. The excellent Don Cheadle plays a hotel manager who takes in and tries to protect a large group of refugees (including his family) while waiting for international intervention. A strong and shocking story well told.
