Hotel Rwanda

[Sister Alvear]

I met some young people that are christians one of the times I was in the states. They told me Hotel Rwanda was no comparison to the real suffering...so if not...imagine what these kids saw...they wept all during the service we were in...
America as a whole has no ideal what many countries are going through...

The book "An Ordinary Man" is so much more in detail than the movie. If they had shown all the stuff in the movie, it would definitely have been rated "R" and not PG-13.

I haven't seen the movie, but I watched and recorded a PBS documetary on the whole issue. The canadian General D. was interviewed extensively and described the demonic look in the eyes of the murderers. He could tell who was murdering people just by the look in their eyes. Many murders were caught on video and shown in the documentary. I believe they were hutus hacking the other tribe to death with machetes. I also saw a PBS interview of the lady hiding in the bathroom of a hutu pastor even though they were from the opposing tribe. There were some missionary heroes that saved many lives. I think the whole incident was a catholic/protestant conflict as well as tribal. Too bad Clinton dropped the ball. The most disgraceful episode from his tenure. It was only after the UN withdrew that the murder started. If the UN had stayed, all of the genocide could have been prevented.
