Sad true story about genocide in Africa. Worth a watch but prepare to be sad and slightly disturbed.
A super captivating perspective on a genocide that’s usually ignored. Don Cheadle is phenomenal
Important piece of film. Shameful there wasn’t more outside assistance. Especially on such a clear cut case of genocide. Hopefully we learn.
Very moving film that depicts an awful genocide.
A powerful portrayal based on real life of a man trying to protect his family and do what’s right on the face of the most vile hate.
The great acting is the focal point of this film. A bleak story without being completely hopeless
Incredible film, inspiring story, brilliant acting all around
Really opens your eyes and is heart wrenching
A very well-told story. Everyone should see this movie.
Fantastic acting performances, especially from Cheadle. Does a good job of building emotion/suspense & def raised awareness on the genocide.
