Hotel Rwanda

Hotel Rwanda

Hotel Rwanda is a 2004 film that shows consumers what was going on in the spring of 1994 in Rwanda. The main point of the movie is to bring attention to the brave actions of one man Paul, or Don Cheadle who risked his life protecting those being killed, Paul was a hotel manager that courageously risked his life to help people. The thing to get from this is that this genocide had been going on for a long time because there was a long time hatred for the Tutsi by the Hutus because the Tusti were favored by the countrymen that colonized them, the Belgiuns. After they left, the Hutus, which outnumbered the Tutsi, took over and started killing the Tutsi.

Hutu: a member of a Bantu-speaking people forming the majority population in Rwanda and Burundi. They are traditionally a farming people and were historically dominated by the Tutsi people; the antagonism between the peoples led in 1994 to large-scale ethnic violence, especially in Rwanda.

Tutsi: The Tutsi or Abatutsi or Imfura, are an ethnic group inhabiting the African Great Lakes region. Historically, they were often referred to as the Watutsi, Watusi, Wahuma or the Wahima.
