Movie Night

Set during one of the worst atrocities in African history, this film takes place amidst the attempted genocide of the Rwandan people in 1994 by the Hutu militia. Paul Rusesabagina was a hotel manager in Kigali who took in over 1,000 refugees at his elegant hotel to save their lives at great risk to himself and his family.  This horrifying incident was barely a blip on the radar of the general public even though nearly one million Rwandans were killed.

This film is appropriate for audiences ranging in age from Middle School through adults.  We’ll have a chance to discuss the film following our viewing for those who are interested.
