Brief introduction:

Based on real events, the film "Killing Forbidden Zone" is filmed in Rwanda, sharing the most humane and beautiful wishes that occur in the most brutal environment. In April 1994, in Kigali, Rwanda, a secondary school called eto. It has not only become a United Nations military base, but also a refugee camp offering asylum. Here you can see soldiers from the United Nations peacekeeping force from Belgium, students, workers and, of course, more than 2,500 Tutsi citizens who are protected from the Hutu militia that threatens to kill the entire Tutsi.

plot:

Rwanda's predominantly Hutu government, which has persecuted ethnic minorities for years, reluctantly passed a peace agreement with the Tutsis under pressure from the United Nations, after which a small Un peacekeeping force was stationed near the capital, Kigali, to oversee the fragile peace.

Kigali Higher Technical School, Mary running, students cheering, teachers explaining, Uncommunicate peacekeepers resting, all this scene makes the people briefly forget the domestic war.

The principal of Chris's school is a white man from the West, helping local people solve everyday problems, teaching children and telling them that there is a God in the world who is protecting us. They held weekly prayers and played with the children.

Although there are UN troops stationed here, travel is still subject to inspection by government forces, of course, the army treats whites leniently, but the local Tutsis are still treated unfairly to varying degrees, but compared with other places in Rwanda, it is already quite good.

On this day the president crashed, there was a coup d'état in the government, and the incessant gunfire was heard around the school, and everything went back to before. Chris and the people at the school nervously watched the changes that took place around them.

At this time, the surrounding citizens flocked to the school one after another, and Chris asked the head of the United Nations, "Why don't you come forward to stop what is happening outside" "We are only here to supervise the government's agreement" Chris was obviously not satisfied with the person in charge's answer. He believes that the local people cannot understand why the United Nations troops came to this place with guns and did not stop it.

At 7:00 a.m. on July 1944, violent clashes broke out across Rwanda, with Hutu accusing the Tutsi of killing the president and imposing a total road blockade that required strict security checks for even whites.

But at this critical juncture, the head of the United Nations told Chris that the situation was very serious and that France would send reinforcements, but not to intervene in the coup on the ground but to evacuate us urgently. At this time, the former Minister of Rwanda also came here to ask the person in charge to send troops, because there was now a systematic massacre, and the minister was undoubtedly disappointed.

The school is nervously arranging the daily life of the citizens who come here.

But the situation became more and more serious, and the people of the coup outside were already assembling to enter the school, while a local in the school was still at home, and the teacher was ready to inform him, and although the United Nations refused his request for protection, he still went alone. But the man he wanted to rescue joined the local slaughter camp.

There were more and more massacrers around the school, and the wounded came every day, but now there are no medicines and there is a lot of risk to go out. This time Chris decided to buy medicine himself, and on the way he saw the slaughtered people, and the corpses everywhere were unbearable.

After returning to school he fell deeply into contemplation, everything was gone, so hard everything, all hope.

The French army arrived, but they did not intervene in the massacre but to help their own people retreat, which made the local people extremely desperate.

At the time of the final evacuation, a local requested that they be killed before they left, because the bullets would make them die quickly, and they did not want to die painfully under the butcher's knife.

At the sound of a gunshot, the UN troops dispersed the crowd and drove away, and the teacher left with the convoy.

Chris stayed, and he drove the truck out of school with the kids.

Crazy killers then poured into the school and began to massacre the local people.

On the way, to cover the evacuation of the children, Chris died under the robbery of a crazy child.

"You asked me, where is the Almighty God in the face of all this suffering? I know where he is, and he is among these people, suffering with them. His love is here, I've never felt such a deep love."

Death, only death. Death took over the city.

Five years later, the girl who started the run, Mary, survived" Chris said: Death is the greatest love we have given" "We are always giving, we have to use it well"

After the Departure of the United Nations troops, about 2,500 or so people were slaughtered by extremist militias.

Between April and May of the same year, 800,000 Rwandans died in the purge.
