April 1994, Rwanda had the most horrible of human history of a modern genocide.

Nearly 100 million Rwandan tutsis hutu ethnic group by their neighbors, classmates or even friends massacre. With the massacre of people fled to other countries, in this short 100 days in Rwanda, which lost a quarter of the total population at that time.

Rusesabagina recalled and edited later. Directed by Terry George to commercial production in vogue in Hollywood Toupai the film, which is very valuable. However, the analysis of video character for paul specific and detailed enough, which was largely restricted to make the audience for his subsequent understanding of a series of major decisions; and the film's political turmoil is a little bit too sudden, there is no in-depth background explain to the audience, for people who are not familiar with the history of Africa to understand that some far-fetched, so that greatly reduced the appeal of the story. In addition, in the latter part of the film, though the director also arranged for the purchase of the plot paul out, but most of the scene inside the hotel or too concentrated, it seems that some out of touch with the outside world.
Overall, however, respect the historical facts of the whole film, the actors do not exaggerate practical performance, good appropriate music, fresh style of African background music applications in nursery rhymes the bloody massacre in a very shocked look (similar to John Woo in the face

So in a few hours after the assassination, the killing of ethnic Tutsis from the Rwandan capital spread to the entire country. The beginning is the Hutu tribe massacred officers, government officials and businessmen carried out under the organization. They use radio in the country inciting ethnic hatred against Tutsis, with food and money to encourage the Hutu ethnic group against Tutsis were massacres. Hutu massacre soon became a family of all ages in the mass movement.
Massacres seemed to be a game, the game of life is this desperate game
In a village called Nyarubuye church in 7000
Ethnic Tutsis hiding inside. Among them are the elderly, there are women, but also children. They fear and hunger for several days has become very weak. Although some of them young men who tried to resist, but they still do not believe most of those outside the church surrounded, in a few days ago, or their neighbors and friends of the Hutu tribe will really get into it to kill all of them light. But a rifle after the shooting and grenade attack, Hutu tribe holding sticks, sickles, and mace flocking. Excessive fear of the majority of ethnic Tutsis in a numb state, many of them even had the opportunity to call a mercy when the Fusarium has been under the sticks and get bloody out. Many people have been killed before being cut off limbs. In a pool of blood in the trunk without limbs were rolling in the screaming chaos rods killed. A wounded 10-year-old ethnic Tutsis school uniforms are still a boy trying to escape from the church, was a man named Evariste the Hutu tribe to seize, Evariste dug a pit, advancing to the child, buried alive. Years later, Evariste sitting in his soon-year-old daughter and a grandson next to reporters about his memory of that nightmare of a decade: he was filling in when the child's arms and legs waving helplessly in the air . . .
Piles of bones
Now 70% of the Rwandan population are women, half of them are widows. In fact, more women are the victims of genocide. In 100 days, about 250,000 to 500,000 women were raped. Later discovered, of which tens of thousands of raped women were infected with AIDS. A woman named Marie, was caught after several Hutu tribe as sex slaves to be raped hundreds of times, thus infected with HIV, and pregnant. Now she is in late stage AIDS.

After 11 years, if we are shocked at the cruelty of human nature under extreme conditions, then, that 100 days in the whole world makes the role of the angry.
The massacres in Rwanda is not in a state of anarchy, or is no rational state of conflict under the Department of. It is entirely under the planning in the organized system carried out. For example, in the church in the village of Nyarubuye 7000
Tutsis massacred in the family, that is, the local mayor and police involved in the direct command and carried out under. So, if the civilized world to stand together, determined to say no, and then sent a symbolic number of troops, it is entirely possible under the pressure of the outside world to stop killing. And conducted a massacre of 100 days, rather than a day or a week, but 100 days. History 8000 with average daily cost of innocent lives, to 100 days of mankind the opportunity to make a correct decision. However, the civilized world has given this 100 days, gave up the history of mankind to make their own opportunities to shine glorious humanity.
