Rwanda

Rwanda is about a Genocide in which two rival tribes, the Hutsi and the Tutsi, are fighting. The Hutsi are generally killing the Tutsi. The movie mainly focuses on a man named Paul. He is a Hutsi. His wife is a Tutsi. This makes their children inter-Tribal. Paul is the manager of a hotel. A Hutsi captures Paul’s family and some other Tutsi. Paul has to pay the ringleader to let them go. This is when Paul gets involved. He is faced with a dilemma. What to do with all these Tutsi. He decides to hide them in the last place anyone would think to look for them, his hotel. But soon some Hutsi find out that he is harboring Tutsi. By this point Paul is running out of money to bribe people with. After all, managing a hotel probably pays well,

But Paul was saved by the bell. The situation sparked something in his brain though because he decided he couldn’t hide Tutsi anymore, so he had to kick them out. But he gave them a Plan-B.

But the Hutsi were thorough in their search for Tutsi. They were found and suddenly it was a war zone. So the trucks were forced to turn around. They wait a couple of days then try again. But something is different this time. Some of the Hutsi rebels who believe that what the Hutsi are doing is wrong gang together and help the trucks. They fight the Homicidal Hutsi. The Tutsi know that the rebel Hutsi group is for them instead of against them because of what they are wearing. The homicidal and rebel Hutsi are wearing one uniform but the rebels wear bandanas around their heads and drag swords on the ground as they walk. After the rebels help the trucks escape Africa, Paul and his family are able to get out of the country and
