Saw Hotel Rwanda this weekend...
Hotel Rwanda
Very moving and powerful film that raises many worthwhile ethical issues with regard to the role of the UN, the politics of genocide and Western intervention, value conflicts of family vs. community, etc. I already have a documentary for later in the year called "Ghosts of Rwanda" that examines the true events that this movie is based on. (Period 4, reminds me of our "Is war humane?" discussion. But more on that later...)
