Hotel Rwanda, Ch4 10pm tonight

If anyone hasn't seen this, I recommend it very strongly.

It's a true story with a touch of the Schindler's list about it, though where Schindler was rich and well-connected, the hero of this fillum was a Head Waiter, left in charge of the local branch of an international chain of hotels.

He's on the 'lucky' side of the Rwandan civil war but feels responsible for those on the 'unlucky' side, and plays an extremely dangerous game on the bleeding edge of the divide while trying to shield his family from the ongoing genocide.

I saw it late, watching it not long before Last King of Scotland, and I rate it a far better movie.

Brilliant, in my opinion, and Don Cheadle is excellent.
