Rwanda is a country in central and eastern Africa, full name Rwanda, located in the south of the equator in central and eastern Africa, a landlocked country. It borders Tanzania to the east, Burundi to the south, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to the west and northwest, and Uganda to the north, with a land area of 26,338 square kilometers. The territory is mountainous and has the title of "the country of a thousand hills".
The Rwandan Genocide, also known as the Rwandan Civil War, which took place from 7 April 1994 to mid-June 1994, was an organized genocide of the Hutus against the Tutsi and Hutu moderates, resulting in the deaths of 800-1 million people, accounting for more than 1/5,000 of the world's total population at that time.
The massacre was supported by the Rwandan government, the army, officials and a large number of local media. In addition to the army, two Hutu militia groups were primarily responsible for the massacre: Interahamwe and Impuzamugambi, while a large number of Hutu civilians were also involved in the massacre.
<h1>Rwanda hotels</h1>
Hotel Rwanda is a 2004 war film co-produced by the United Kingdom, South Africa, Canada and Italy. Directed by Terry George and co-starring Don Chandel, Sophie O'Connedo, Jacqueline Phoenix and Nick Nault, the film premiered on September 11, 2004 at the Toronto Film Festival in Canada.
Based on the 1994 Rwandan genocide and based on a true story, the film tells the story of Paul Rusesabagina, a Rwandan Hutu restaurant manager, who manages to save 1,268 Tutsi and Hutus refugees during an ethnic vendetta
Paul Luce Seberguina (Don Cheadle) opens a restaurant in a troubled world, like an oasis for resting and saving lives in a world of killing. The incident stemmed from the deaths of the two heads of state: they were the leaders of the Hutus and Tutsi tribes, who were on the same plane but were accidentally shot down. In this way, suspicion and fighting between the two tribes began, and the Hutu began to kill the Tutsi in a frenzy.
Paul, a Hutu, has A Tutsi wife and friends, and in order to save the people around him and save a nation, he struggled to save the lives of 1,000 refugees in an increasingly serious situation, and the Rwanda Hotel staged a touching story.
<h1>Killing exclusion zone</h1>
Killing Zone is a drama film directed by Michael Caton-Jones and starring Hugh Dancy and John Hurt.
It tells the story of a secondary school called ETO in Kigali, Rwanda, in April 1994. It has become not only a United Nations military base, but also a refugee camp that provides asylum. However, danger was always with the Tutsi, because outside the school's iron gates, hutu militias wearing machetes were crowded.
A hundred days after spring, a million Rwandan refugees met a group of soldiers led by their leader, Hutus, in masacred, and were slaughtered, turning a small African country into hell in an instant. Barbarism is outside the imagination. UN peacekeepers are there to watch. Watch but don't act. A British priest and his young retinue witnessed this scene, and for a moment their convictions, their courage and psychological limits were greatly impacted, and in the end, they were forced to make a choice between staying or running with the refugees.
<h1>Sometime in April</h1>
Sometime in April is a war, drama, historical film directed by Raoul Peck, starring Idris Elba.
The film tells the story of a Hutu soldier who was separated from his wife and two sons in the chaos of the initial massacre in April 1994, and only learned of their fate when he met his brother Xavier 10. Xavier, a journalist, is on trial at the Ictrant Tribunal for Rwanda in Arusha, Tanzania, on charges of inciting bloodshed through radio broadcasts.
Sometime in April, the film depicting the tragic 1994 genocide of Rwanda, which the Western world was not involved in mediating, joined the competition section of the Berlin Film Festival and was one of two films about the atrocity in the 11-day festival. Unlike Terri George's Hotel Rwanda, which focuses on the same context and subject matter, Raoulpec shows the trauma of the Civil War in a different way. These two films and Carmen of Kayarisha show the heating up of South African cinema. "Sometime in April," which depicts the bloody scenes of the massacre, is an absolute deterrent than the same theme of the film "Hotel Rwanda".
Produced jointly by the United States and Rwanda, the first major film about the genocide of some 800,000 Tutsi and Hutu people, it was shot locally in Rwanda and featured a large number of local residents as extras.
<h1>Hand in hand with the devil</h1>
Hand in Hand with the Devil is a 2007 Canadian film directed by Roger Spottiswoode.
