The true story of a hotel keeper who used his political position and quick wit to save 1,000+ lives during the genocidal violence that erupted in Rwanda between the Hutu and Tutsi groups in 1994.
Some of the worst atrocities in the history of mankind took place in the country of Rwanda--and in an era of high-speed communication and round the clock news, the events went almost unnoticed by the rest of the world. In only three months, one million people were brutally murdered. In the face of these unspeakable actions, inspired by his love for his family, an ordinary man summons extraordinary courage to save the lives of over a thousand helpless refugees, by granting them shelter in the hotel he manages. Nominated for 3 Oscars.
