On location in Kigali, Rwanda, in mid-June 2006, Dupuis began filming the dramatic feature film "Shake Hands with the Devil", in which he performs the principal role of Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire, head of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR) during the Rwandan genocide. The film is based on Dallaire's autobiographical book "Shake Hands with the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda". After two months in Kigali, filming continued in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in August 2006. Prior to its release, a "draft of the film" was screened as a courtesy by the producer, Laszlo Barna, to Paul Kagame, the President of Rwanda, and his cabinet, who found it emotionally very moving.
