Today, in religion class we finished watching the movie 'Hotel Rwanda' which follows a Rwandan man called Paul Rusesabagina, who tries to rescue his family, friends and fellow citizens from the Rwandan Genocide by using his position as manager of the Hôtel des Mille Collines to grant shelter to more than a thousand refugees. We watched the movie as part of the conflict module in Transition Year religion.
The movie explores genocide, political corruption and violence. I enjoyed watching the movie although it was at times very violent, intense and quite upsetting. It was good to learn about the Rwandan genocide between the Hutu's and the Tutsi's as this genocide was only 18 years ago.
