Hotel Rwanda

This movie is about a manager of a 4 star hotel in Rwanda using its wits, bargaining skill and connection to protect people sheltering at that hotel during the conflict between Hutu and Tutsi in the 90s. Although there was not much action from this movie, it was really amazing how the manager able to protect so many people including his family during such turbulent time. Apart from that, this movie also shown the ugliness of conflicts and casualties, the power of media in inciting hatred and the selfishness of the world superpowers if there is no benefit in helping. By the way, the Hutu and Tutsi were of same skin colour but somehow being differentiated by its colonialists, using the same old 'divide & conquer' rule. I'll rate this movie at 8/10.
