About

You’ll likely like Hotel Rwanda if you want an emotionally intense true-history drama about protecting others in extreme danger; Not for you if you can’t handle graphic, heavy genocide themes or prefer more uplifting stories like The Killing Fields or The Pianist.

Pros: true-events impact; brave humanitarian focus; compelling performances | Cons: very heavy subject; some historical changes noted
