Shake Hands With the Devil (2007)
When the world turned its back, one man stood up.
Starring Roy Dupuis, Deborah Kara Unger, James Gallanders
Directed by Roger Spottiswoode
Canadian Lt. General Romeo Dallaire was the military commander of the UN mission in Rwanda and this movie is personal and, all too true, story of his time there during the genocide of 1994. It is not quite as moving as the earlier Hotel Rwanda and is less geared to drama and emotional manipulation, but it is still grim and upsetting.
