I would like to take this opportunity to introduce my favorite movie "Hotel Rwanda".
After the First World War, the Lwague of Nations gave the country of Rwanda in Africa to
Belgium. Rwanda is a country which consists of the Futsu naton and Tsuchi nation. In those days
Rwanda was a united country, but the League of Nations wanted to devide their country so they
suggested to prejudice in favor of the Tsuchi nation who are close to European. Belgium treated
them well economically and in education, because of this segregation, Futsu heightented their
displeasure and unger. Then the militia of Futsu was organized and the situation was just about
to explode their feelings. and the nation of Rwanda was falling down rapidly and a civil war broke
out. Civil war continued for about 3 years. It was just about concluding a peace negotiation when
the president was killed by someone. This triggered an uprising. In 1994 the militia took
command of Futsu and they started to massacre theTsuchi. Rwanda's political situation was so
fluid before the slaughter that the French, British, American armies were all deployed to Rwanda
as a Blue Helmet. When the slaughter started however, they made a decision to withdraw from
Rwanda, not to help the slaughter. They abandoned Rwanda with only 300 of the Blue Helmets
left. Everyone tried to ignore this tragedy as a third world happening, but there is one man who
has a family of four, decided to help his family. His name is Paul Rusesabagina. He is the maneger
of Hotel Rwanda. He accepted the neighbors and orphans, not only his family, and he sheltered them at his hotel. His wisdom, conscience and bravery could save the lives of about 1200 people.
While watching this story I felt ashamed of myself and I cried with disappointment of many times. This story gave me a lot of emotional feelings. I think this movie will change our view of life so I want you to watch this movie absolutely!! Thank you.
