Yeah, it's now up to Hutus and Tutsis to make a treaty. Slavic people have never colonised Africa, for instance. If Rwanda wants peace than stop killing and hating each other. Thtat's the way...
I fear all the formal imperial powers would have to pay what all they did to their past colonies, you just can't brush off your sins; See what Belgian has done to this millions of people in Rawanda, God is a sane and a just entity...
I watched this in world history, it was so horrifying and heart-breaking. Especially since this all really happened, and no one, not even the 'peace-keeping' UN really tried to help these people who were being slaughtered.
I watched this in my Eastern Cultures class and started crying. So eye opening absolutley horrifying. we, as human beings, claim to be so evolved and civilized, but if we can slaughter eachother for no reason other than what gene pool we have, then we are no better than animals. actually, animals are more civilized because they kill to eat and to protect themselves. War brutality is disgusting and so is war. if we are so evolved, why can't we just talk it out?
@hopedream11 you call invading, killing more people than there was suppose to be killed, spreading hate, leaving the country in ruins help? think man....
Why can't we all just love each other :( I wish it was possible to get every person in the enitre world to make a HUGE circle over a few day and just hold hands!
For West's interests..For West's sake,WE slaughtered 1million people..Coz we hold Gutu's Hand and Tutsi's hand on these actions..This is a genocide that we forgot..We were made to forget,none mentions on the news..So people who are unaware of it,will never know..They want us not to know..Wish people could realise what we are being told is not always true..And rise up towards HUMANITIES Sake..We are HUMAN..See the EARTH from the Space..YOU SEE ANY BORDERS??You see Countries??I SEE HUMANS no more
One of the best movies i have ever seen..Shows how we,the WEST take advantage of those people..Our action cause these things and nothing more..We create differences on these people so as to keep em on conflict while we steal everything they have on their land..And when we finish our purpose,we just let me on this endless slaughter..We let em kill each other due to the anger and circumstances we have created..Almost 1 million corpses.Most of em little children and women.And for??
@COASTRDUDE25 During the genocide in Rwanda, this man hid around 2000 Tutsi refugees, and kept them safe by bribing Hutu extremists with money and alcohol, calling in favors, pretty much doing anything he could to keep them alive.

the government or the "UN" can only fulfil their tasks of human rights/ world peace to a certain limit. its easy for them to switch a blind eye & leave innocent people getting murdered in a black third world country. people just don't care because it doesn't affect them. I know cuz Australia is still switching a blind eye to the indigenous, the original owners of their land. whats worse is when you know something bad is going to happen but do nothin about it. stay silent and eat their dinners
One of my favorite movies ever. Very inspirational. And for some reason whenever I wear my crucifix I feel shame (because many evil Christians murdered so many Tutsis).
If the Belgians hadn't divided Rwanda into Hutus and Tutsis none of this would have happened. The is a great movie with a very inspirational protaginast.
@Inuyamenaru There was reasoning behind their actions, after the civil war in Somalia where 2 black hawk helicopters came down, and 18 US troops and another 78 injured, the UN became scared that the same would happen, that's why many of the powerhouse countries watched and ignored the genocide.
This movie perfectly shows that only the ones with money and powerful connections will helped. Paul Rusesabagina is a hero for using his influences and money to save people and innocent lives.
mistuhDavecash. Soon you're gonna start saying that the Holocaust never happened either, that only "a few" jews died and that it was all bullshit made up by the UN.
@MsCuteBubbles I agree. If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem. However, the world would eventually call for the U.S. to be isolationists and not "imperialists" again.
@jtrigoura1 Face it,he is right..Wanna believe it or not he is damn right..Those people move and make everything towards ther pocket value..Nothing more..The dont value your life,the dont value your family's life,the dont value children's life..The value MONEY and nothing less..And when some realise what they have created with their actions,they regreat but it is too late..They regreat for some minutes and then they go on with their life..Those people who died though cant live again
@DarkReapersGrim You're an idiot. We import most of the oil from Canada and Saudi Arabia, The reason why we didn't intervened because we didn't want to look bad after the botched raid in Somalia in 1993 so we left the role to the UN instead. But digging deeper into it, America recently got out of Somalia, where 19 American soldiers were killed in a botched attempt, and the public was in no mood for another war in Africa. Plus Africa is full of tribes where people go to war against each other.
good movie, shame the Ghanan UN werent shown, they did the most. they refused to go back to ghana when the troops were withdrawn as they wanted to save the rwandans. got them in a lot of trouble but that is bravery
Just want to say, this is a MOVIE, not a documentary. Those who say this in a classroom, this movie is fake, the real horror is still out there. Remember that Sudan is facing the exact same crisis that Rwanda has faced and maybe still facing (not much coverage has been done there recently).

hotel rwanda and blood diamond shows how our continent is mest up, and how are we are no learing from the past. it takes someone who plays on people's feelings and everyone will be ready to fight for nothing
That is just stupid. Did you know that the Belgums are the ones that decided who would be Hutu and who would be Tutsi? If you had more than ten cows you were listed as a Tutsi.
The movie was not authentic. They showed crazies dressed as they do in Sierra Leon. It was a mistake because they were trying to show current images of African carnage.
I was just in Rwanda. If you would like to see bodies and bones, I have them on film.
I love this movie. The only thing I have against it is that they should've given some props to the canadian UN commander. The man ( with the aid of God) saved tens of thousands of people while the superpowers worked hard behind the scenes to withdraw all international troops from Rwanda. His account of what happened is a must read : " Shaking Hands With The Devil".
@mistuhDavecash .... wow... *laughs* I've never seeen a single person who called his falsified garbage, tell the Australian soldiers which rip a part their UN arm bands and barrets when they pulled out of Rwanda. Why would the UN lie about events which made them look so bad.
@Luminahawke Ok I'll admit, maybe there was a small uprising and a few people died, but it has been blown way out of proportion to the point that it's now just one big sob story. The UN have the desire to take over the world and making shit up about a small uprising of some people in Uganda is how they plan to do it. Grow a brain and think for yourself.
@ABRaingutters Everyone has Rwandan blood dripping from their hands. Catholics, Muslims, Americans, British, Russians, everyone who stood aside and let hundreds of thousands of people die just because of their genetics.
I wonder if Viva Riva would have a strong social impact on the Congolese like Hotel Rwanda had with their nation. Have you seen it? bit. ly/mPp73F The trailer is mind-blowing, and I can’t wait for it to come out.
I watched this in my class today. It's pretty hard to believe that some people have enough hate to do this much damage. It's happening now in so many places. It seriously sickens me, that stuff like this happens to people.
@wonluv6 Well we coloured people can keep saying the white man came and did this and did that... But the reality is the white man has long left and he is moving ahead while we still fight amoung amoung self...Dont we have bloody head to think what is right and whatz not.. not to kill our owm people, not to exploit our owm people??? The truth is the white man has left...but also left behind many coloured white men
It scares me, that citiziens of US and EU do not realize, that without values comming from the bible, the north-atlantic area would not be lesser f*****-up place than the africa is..
The only thing I find bad about these kinda movies is making the viewer feel that we should of done something and bash that over your head like it's viewers fault. But I will say I do like these kind of films because for people who are unknowledgable when it comes to tragidies that happened in the past, it can teach you in a interesting and cinematic way.
They didn't show the guy with the purple afro in that. :( I'm pretty sure that guy started the genocide because the Tutsi people tried dying it a different color. Now there's a guy that means business.
My name is Mário Annuza; I am Brazilian and I am 33 years old. Since I was a child, I love your country ! Admire your music and collect varied coins. Among them, there is one from Rwanda ! Hugs from Brazil,
we just finished this movie in my world history class, wow that was a great yet depressing movie, 1 million people dead, whats that compared to the holocaust
movies have a way of distancing people and organising chaos. in this respect this movie was terrible. maybe some people want you to think its nice and stable now. its not. its still shit. UN is still overstretched. people still hate each other. populations still out of control. nothings been adressed or solved. thats the true crime. millions dies for nothing. in some respects its worse than horribly sad its pathetic
kk guys its time to tell you all something important. actions have consequences and violence breeds more violence. its really really important for people to understand this isnt simply over, for those who lived through, for those displaced. Congo faces this kind of slaughter right now. this is the same systematic slaughter NOW. theres no use looking back at this as a historical tragedy to cry about, either come to grips with a goddam awful situation or do something about it. pick your choice
I really have to say that I loathe the UN after this film! We watched it in political education and up there, I always thought the UN is an organization which campaigns against exactly like that. But i'm disappointed to see the opposite...
That shows me there must be a change in the structure of the UN.
It couldn't be that one nation on the other side of the Atlantic( I'm European) are allowed to decide whether 1.000.000 people die or not!!
I encourage you all to read Paul's autobiography, "An Ordinary Man", after watching the movie, to see events in his perspective. In the book, he mentioned that the violence in the movie was in fact "toned down", saying that no one would be able to stomach what he saw during the genocide if it was shown on big screen. It is humbling to know that there will always exist good men who stand up to what is right and courageously say "NO" to evil even in the darkest of days.
It baffles me. We're learning about this in my human geography class. After the Holocaust the United Nations said that there would never be another genocide. No one intervened. Wow.
i saw this movie in geography, and started crying . i hope it never happens again , innocent people died. I think US should've really done something about it .
@flighty1996 I think the reason some people criticize the US for policing the world is because they feel the US only intervenes in other countries if it gets something out of it. They feel the US didnt help in Rwanda because it had nothing to offer. just saying thats what some people feel
yea i understand what you are saying. I dont agree with everything the US do but it annoys me that people complain when they intervene but when they dont people complain again
@Afflictedd The US kept vetoing UN votes, and did all they could to make sure that no soldiers would go in (to avoid another Somalia). As this movie portrays, Belgium pulled their troops out of Rwanda. The UN's army is the armies of nations around the world; and those nations make the decisions about where they go.
@JamesJAdams7 Actually, there were no US vetos on UN votes in Rwanda. The US submitted a resolution, to withdraw all UN peacekeeping forces out of Rwanda. The UK, Russia, China, one of the five permanent power houses could have vetoed it easily but all of them agreed to withdraw UN peacekeepers out of Rwanda because they didn't want to want to have another Somalia(as you stated).
The world failed to stop the genocide as a all.
As soon as the peace keepers left, the genocide started.
its sad how the united states didnt intervine, only the united nation canadians would, if only the united states brought some heavy guns, the whole massacre would have stopped right in its tracks, the u.s will invade a country because of a atttack on a sky scraper, but not a genocide to an entire nation, its god damn saddening
Wow im watching this movie right now, and its just amazing to see the power of politicians. Life is short, but you dont know how short it is until you witness people dying at random. This movie has inspired me to make a difference not just in my community but worldwide! :)
"Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph."
@nowaiii1 Yeah, but based on a true story. Paul Rusesabagina was a real man that operated a hotel in Kigali, saving more than 1,200 Tutsis and moderate Hutus. Did a research paper and this movie is almost like a documentary. Some is spiced up yes, because it is Hollywood; however, it gives a general accurate idea of what went down, and how the world turned its back.
@maximus7prime Well, some producer decides to make a film about the Rwandan genocide but he chooses a story with a happy end (there weren't a lot of happy ends in Rwanda lately). Wouldn't it be more realistic to show what really "went down" if they used another example? You should watch Shooting Dogs if you haven't already.
@nowaiii1 I've heard about Shooting Dogs, just haven't seen it. I get your point; however, this is a good movie that introduces the topic. I've asked my mom, sister, and some friends and they had never heard of the "Hutus and Tutsis." Now, a lot of people have, but the fact that many people have no idea, at least this gives an idea. And it was touching, moving, and aggravating. Granted it did have a "happy ending." Regardless, what happened in Rwanda was shrugged off by the rest of the world.
HOW DID THIS TRAILER ONLY GET 650,000 VIEWS YET JUSTIN BIBIER'S "BABY" MUSIC VIDEO GET'S 500 million! I'd rather spend time watching this two hour movie, then wasting two minutes starring at bibiers hair.
1994: 1,000,000 Rwandan civilians killed, nobody in the international community gives a shit
2001: 3,000 American & Foreign civilians killed, everybody goes on high alert, NATO goes to war and restores order

That is just stupid. Did you know that the Belgums are the ones that decided who would be Hutu and who would be Tutsi? If you had more than ten cows you were listed as a Tutsi.
The movie was not authentic. They showed crazies dressed as they do in Sierra Leon. It was a mistake because they were trying to show current images of African carnage.
I was just in Rwanda. If you would like to see bodies and bones, I have them on film.
It happened. They key question is why?

I love this movie. The only thing I have against it is that they should've given some props to the canadian UN commander. The man ( with the aid of God) saved tens of thousands of people while the superpowers worked hard behind the scenes to withdraw all international troops from Rwanda. His account of what happened is a must read : " Shaking Hands With The Devil".

@Luminahawke Ok I'll admit, maybe there was a small uprising and a few people died, but it has been blown way out of proportion to the point that it's now just one big sob story. The UN have the desire to take over the world and making shit up about a small uprising of some people in Uganda is how they plan to do it. Grow a brain and think for yourself.

movies have a way of distancing people and organising chaos. in this respect this movie was terrible. maybe some people want you to think its nice and stable now. its not. its still shit. UN is still overstretched. people still hate each other. populations still out of control. nothings been adressed or solved. thats the true crime. millions dies for nothing. in some respects its worse than horribly sad its pathetic

kk guys its time to tell you all something important. actions have consequences and violence breeds more violence. its really really important for people to understand this isnt simply over, for those who lived through, for those displaced. Congo faces this kind of slaughter right now. this is the same systematic slaughter NOW. theres no use looking back at this as a historical tragedy to cry about, either come to grips with a goddam awful situation or do something about it. pick your choice

I really have to say that I loathe the UN after this film! We watched it in political education and up there, I always thought the UN is an organization which campaigns against exactly like that. But i'm disappointed to see the opposite...
That shows me there must be a change in the structure of the UN.
It couldn't be that one nation on the other side of the Atlantic( I'm European) are allowed to decide whether 1.000.000 people die or not!!

I encourage you all to read Paul's autobiography, "An Ordinary Man", after watching the movie, to see events in his perspective. In the book, he mentioned that the violence in the movie was in fact "toned down", saying that no one would be able to stomach what he saw during the genocide if it was shown on big screen. It is humbling to know that there will always exist good men who stand up to what is right and courageously say "NO" to evil even in the darkest of days.

@flighty1996 I think the reason some people criticize the US for policing the world is because they feel the US only intervenes in other countries if it gets something out of it. They feel the US didnt help in Rwanda because it had nothing to offer. just saying thats what some people feel

Afflictedd 3 months ago
@Afflictedd The US kept vetoing UN votes, and did all they could to make sure that no soldiers would go in (to avoid another Somalia). As this movie portrays, Belgium pulled their troops out of Rwanda. The UN's army is the armies of nations around the world; and those nations make the decisions about where they go.
JamesJAdams7 3 months ago
@JamesJAdams7 Actually, there were no US vetos on UN votes in Rwanda. The US submitted a resolution, to withdraw all UN peacekeeping forces out of Rwanda. The UK, Russia, China, one of the five permanent power houses could have vetoed it easily but all of them agreed to withdraw UN peacekeepers out of Rwanda because they didn't want to want to have another Somalia(as you stated).
The world failed to stop the genocide as a all.
As soon as the peace keepers left, the genocide started.

@nowaiii1 Yeah, but based on a true story. Paul Rusesabagina was a real man that operated a hotel in Kigali, saving more than 1,200 Tutsis and moderate Hutus. Did a research paper and this movie is almost like a documentary. Some is spiced up yes, because it is Hollywood; however, it gives a general accurate idea of what went down, and how the world turned its back.
maximus7prime 8 months ago
@maximus7prime Well, some producer decides to make a film about the Rwandan genocide but he chooses a story with a happy end (there weren't a lot of happy ends in Rwanda lately). Wouldn't it be more realistic to show what really "went down" if they used another example? You should watch Shooting Dogs if you haven't already.
nowaiii1 8 months ago
@nowaiii1 I've heard about Shooting Dogs, just haven't seen it. I get your point; however, this is a good movie that introduces the topic. I've asked my mom, sister, and some friends and they had never heard of the "Hutus and Tutsis." Now, a lot of people have, but the fact that many people have no idea, at least this gives an idea. And it was touching, moving, and aggravating. Granted it did have a "happy ending." Regardless, what happened in Rwanda was shrugged off by the rest of the world.
