Movie Summary:
Don Cheadle gives an outstanding performance in this inspiring fact-based drama set in the African nation of Rwanda. Cheadle plays Paul Rusesabagina, manager of a luxury hotel in the capital city. In 1994 one of the country's main tribes, the Hutu, went on a rampage that slaughtered roughly a million people in another, the Tutsi. Amid the chaos, Paul, a Hutu, undertook a course of action that saved the lives of some 1200 Tutsis.
