Hotel Rwanda is troubled film. Many of the actual people involved in the story it is based upon have fiercely denounced this movie, while there are many who have staunchly defended it. So I guess I’m going to weigh in to this ongoing fight, and give a more historical lens for all of this. But, I don’t have a side to take, since the evidence has many contradictions. Let’s just say that I’m ambivalent on the movie itself. Through YouTube's cowardice, this video has been sneak-demonetized. ------------------------------------------------------------ references ------------------------------------------------------------ SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE VIDEOS contribute to my Patreon LET'S CONNECT --------------------------------------------------------------- wiki: Hotel Rwanda is a 2004 British-Italian-South African historical drama film directed by Terry George. It was adapted from a screenplay written by both George and Keir Pearson. It stars Don Cheadle and Sophie Okonedo as hotelier Paul Rusesabagina and his wife Tatiana. Based on the Rwandan Genocide which occurred during the spring of 1994, the film, which has been called an African Schindler's List, documents Rusesabagina's acts to save the lives of his family and more than a thousand other refugees by granting them shelter in the besieged Hôtel des Mille Collines.[3] Hotel Rwanda explores genocide, political corruption, and the repercussions of violence.[4] The film was a co-production between United Artists and Lions Gate Films. It was commercially distributed by United Artists theatrically and by MGM Home Entertainment for home media. As an independent film, it had an initial limited release in theaters; but it was nominated for multiple awards, including Academy Award nominations for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Original Screenplay. The film also won a number of awards including those from the Berlin and Toronto International Film Festivals. On January 11, 2005, the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack was released by the Commotion label. It features songs written by several recording artists including Wyclef Jean and Deborah Cox. The film score was composed by Rupert Gregson-Williams, Andrea Guerra, and the Afro Celt Sound System. Hotel Rwanda premiered in theaters in limited release in the United States on December 22, 2004, and in wide release on February 4, 2005, grossing more than $23 million in domestic ticket sales. It earned an additional $10 million in business through international release to top out at a combined total near $34 million in gross revenue. The film was technically considered a moderate financial success after its theatrical run, and was met with positive critical reviews before its initial screening in cinemas. The Blu-ray Disc edition of the film featuring special documentaries along with selected scenes and audio commentary, was released in the United States on May 10, 2011. ------------------------------------------------------------ Hashtags: #History #HotelRwanda #RwandanGenocide #Review #BasedOnATrueStory #Hutu #Tutsi #Rwanda #Kabila #Kagame #UnitedNations\n
