There are few example of ethnic cleaning such as when hitler tried to kill as many jews as possible so that he could eliminate them as "filth". When civilians and people of there own ethnicity tried to kill each other send a spark of disgust and hatred down most peoples spines but nothing was as cruel or disgusting then the deaths between three months of time, over One million people were killed.
A true story about a man named Paul Rusesabagina, a successful hotel manager who saved and sheltered many lives and gave away everything he had for HOPE.
Over Ten years ago, one of the worlds most devastating wars happened with the civil war against the Hutu's and the Tutsi s. The Hutu's are trying to kill all of the Tutsi es because they blame them for everything bad that has happened. Over a million lives were claimed over a three month period and the rest of the world did not Take action to help them or send any aid.
A dramatic true story that actually happened but no one dared to take action but the hotel manage gave everything to help the hopeless.

An impressive performance by Don Cheadle who plays the hotel manager and delivers a superb performance hitting everyones hearts and feelings. A amazing sound deliverance and inspiring true story which should be used in the world today to tell people that bad things still happed out there.

A critic from england says this...
"hotel Rwanda is one of the most dramatic films of the year and deserves to be the top one hundred of our life time, also We could have saved so many lives if we just helped out back then, ten years ago in that terrible civilian war."
