According to a Reuters report, Rwanda&#8217;s current Tutsi president Paul Kagame, who led the country&#8217;s counter takeover to end the genocide, accused Hotel Rwanda (above) of depicting a &#34;falsehood,&#34; adding, &#34;Some of the things actually attributed to this person [Paul Rusesabagina, played by Don Cheadle, right, with Sophie Okonedo] are not true. Even those that are true do not merit the level of highlight.&#34;
A recent French official report, extracts of which were published in Le Monde, blamed  Kagame for the downing of President Juvenal Habyarimana&#8217;s plane in 1994. That event was the spark that led to the murder orgy that left between 800,000 and one million Rwandans, mostly Tutsis, dead. The Rwanda government, now in the hands of the [...]]]></description>

&#160;


&#160;
 In the second quarter of 1994, while much of the world was gearing up to the World Cup to be held in Los Angeles, one of history&#8217;s deadliest wholesale slaughters of human beings was taking place in Central Africa. Following the death of Rwanda&#8217;s President Juvenal Habyarimana, an ethnic Hutu whose plane was shot down above the Kigali airport on April 6, 1994, the Hutu powers-that-be decided it was time to eliminate the Tutsi minority who were blamed for the crash. What followed in the next three months was an orgy of hackings and shootings throughout [...]]]></description>

Based on the true story of a hotel manager who saved hundreds of lives during Rwanda&#8217;s 1994 genocide, Terry George&#8217;s Hotel Rwanda has won the People&#8217;s Choice award at the 2004 Toronto Film Festival. 
In the film, hotel manager Paul Rusesabagina (played by Don Cheadle) saves the lives of those hiding in his hotel by bribing military officers with cash, liquor, and other goods. While the world looked away, approximately 800,000 Tutsis and politically moderate Hutus were massacred during the spring and early summer of 1994. 
Pete Travis&#8216; Omagh, the story of the relatives of victims of the bloodiest terrorist attack of Northern Ireland&#8217;s 30-year conflict, won the festival&#8217;s Discovery award, given out by attending journalists. 
In My Father&#8217;s Den, [...]]]></description>
