Read More This is a story that has already been told in Hotel Rwanda and The Sum of all Fears, but this story as a unique and interesting take of the genocide which took place in 1994 in Africa from the perspective of a European teacher. If you liked Hotel Rwanda then you will really enjoy this movie. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

But this one is another view of the devastating effects of the world. Very sad story of how the UN was not there to help. Very good story but will really open your eyes to the sadness of the world and the values the UN has. Must see movie Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

The closing credits, pictures of survivors who worked on the film, sums it all up. Each one of them is lit
from within despite their suffering and grateful. THANK YOU THANK YOU for making this movie. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

How can we justify the relevance of the UN when they allow things like this to happen? How do you decide what is genocide and what isnt and then knowing what would happen they then evacuate all the white people and leave the black people to be slaughtered. I say disband the UN as they are no longer relevant and really serve no purpose with all the mass murder and genocide happening in different parts of the world, the UN is suppose to protect the innocent and they have done a very poor job of it. Anyone who watches this movie will see exactly what I am talking about. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More To say I really "liked it" is a stretch, but I'm really glad I watched it. Like Schindler's List, The Killing Fields, etc...I think it is an important movie in that it tells a true-life story that we in America can't (thankfully) fully grasp or comprehend.

Makes for a boring history lecture for about 30 minutes in high school. The gist of this movie is that one group of people hating on another group of people in Africa. Thats the whole movie right there. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No |
