| Logline: |
In 1995 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. |
