THe REAL LIFE STORY BEHIND RAWANDA MOVIE:
The genocide in Rwanda, which took place a decade ago, was the subject of little news coverage at the time and seems an unlikely subject for a film released during the holidays. But in "Hotel Rwanda," which stars Don Cheadle, director Terry George has created a searing, heartbreaking portrayal of a family caught in the frenetic, barbaric killing spree that left nearly 1 million people dead.
Out of the carnage emerged an unlikely and heretofore unsung hero, Paul Rusesabagina, a hotel manager who risked his life and saved 1,268 people from death.
