this film reaffirm why documentary film making be so important . documentary do not simply tell a story while they tell a real story and a human story . documentary help to shed light on human triumph and human tragedy and both of which be evident in this gripping film direct by peter raymont . the tragedy and of course and be that nearly 1 million rwandan be kill and slaughter in a senseless act of genocide . what add to the tragedy be that the civilized world could have easily stop this from happen and if they only care . the film display how the u. n. and individual country alike not only fail to help the innocent rwandan people and but in many way they contribute to the genocide that happen by create some of the ethnic stigma that exist in the country . yet amongst all of this carnage and horror there do remain some good people who try to help the rwandan . general romeo dallaire and commander of the un force in rwanda and be one of these people . perhaps no one else in rwanda do as much to save people a do mr. dallaire . even though he be betray by the un and ignore by the rest of the world and he emerge from this terrible situation a a hero . i believe the ultimate message of this film be that the lead country of the world and their citizen must learn from human tragedy like rwanda so that we can take action to prevent such atrocity from happen again . unfourtunately and with situation such a the one in darfur and it seem like this message be not be hear . an important film that must be see by all and a shining example of documentary film making . positive .
