  • 'Hotel Rwanda' is an amazing film that helps bring to light what happens in the sad reality of the international community stepping back in situations instead of stepping in. The horrible sequence of events in the Rwanda genocide has certainly helped change policy and bring focus to the hardships of Africa and how pouring money and food at a problem is not always a solution.
