Hotel Rwanda

Today I re-watched Hotel Rwanda. The film is even more powerful than I had remembered.  The amount violence that took place.  The fact that even a small amount of lives that could be saved is extraordinary but at the same time very scary.  The movie shows just a glimpse of the violence that took place. 

I did just a small amount of research on the actual genocide. The below graph shows the large dip in the population.  This tend is very unsettling that in a short period of time so many people could be killed.
