Begun by extreme Hutu nationalists in the capital of Kigali, the genocide spread throughout the country with staggering speed and brutality, as ordinary citizens were incited by local officials and the Hutu Power government to take up arms against their neighbors. By the time the Tutsi-led Rwandese Patriotic Front gained control of the country through a military offensive in early July, hundreds of thousands of Rwandans were dead and many more displaced from their homes. The RPF victory created 2 million more refugees (mainly Hutus) from Rwanda, exacerbating what had already become a full-blown humanitarian crisis.
    I will be honest,
    I know it was a film and can never come close to the real atrocities that happened but hotel Rwanda was seriously gripping.
    It moved me

    euro never ceases to amaze how he can consistently, and over a long period of time continue to offend and surprise with his amazingly poor perspective on what appears to be everything!
