Documentary on the 1994 Rwanda Genocide. Hutu extremists were all but unopposed and ran amok all over the country, butchering eight hundred thousand Tutsis and Hutu moderates over a three-month period. Contains interview footage with General Roméo Dallaire (ret)., the Canadian commander of UNAMIR whose hands were badly tied by a weak-willed UN that didn't want to allow the use of force to stem the carnage. I have gone to see General Dallaire speak and have met him, and would have been proud to serve in his command. I also worked closely with his son and his daughter, both of whom are also in the military, and I firmly believe what I said to her: "I think your father is a good man who did everything he could in a very difficult situation". General Dallaire came back from the mission suicidal with severe PTSD but fortunately appears to have rallied; he is a Senator now and speaks regularly at Canadian universities.
