“When the world closed its eyes, he opened his arms.”
Hotel Rwanda (2004) unfolds in the 1990s during the Rwandan genocide, a period marked by the systematic extermination of over a million Tutsis largely ignored by the global community. Paul Rusesabagina, a hotel manager, transforms his establishment into a sanctuary, sheltering over a thousand refugees and defying the chaos outside to protect them from impending doom. The film captures the harrowing choice between survival and morality, set against a backdrop of desperate human resilience and institutional indifference.
