Hotel Rwanda

In 1994, war swept the tiny African nation of Rwanda when the country's dominant ethnic groups, the Tutsi and Hutu, became locked in a bitter political struggle. Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle) was the manager of a four-star luxury hotel, and when the fighting escalated into genocide, he used his position to shelter over a thousand refugees, despite great personal danger. Nick Nolte, Sophie Okonedo, Joaquin Phoenix and Jean Reno co-star in this inspiring biography from filmmaker Terry George ("In the Name of the Father," "The Boxer").
