Plot:
Don Cheadle stars in the true-life story of Paul Rusesabagina, a hotel manager who housed over a thousand Tutsis refugees during their struggle against the Hutu militia in Rwanda.

Ten years ago some of the worst atrocities in the history of mankind took place in the country of Rwanda--and in an era of high-speed communication and round the clock news, the events went almost unnoticed by the rest of the world. In only three months, one million people were brutally murdered. In the face of these unspeakable actions, inspired by his love for his family, an ordinary man summons extraordinary courage to save the lives of over a thousand helpless refugees, by granting them shelter in the hotel he manages.

Review:
An absolutely, incredibly moving movie.
A must-see for everyone. I cried so much during this movie, but also laughed as well.

It is so emotional, especially knowing that it is a true story, and that these things are still happening right at this moment.

This movie should be an eye opener for everyone.
Couldn't have picked a better cast.
Possibly one of the best movies ever made.
