Summary:
As his country descends into madness, five star hotel manager Paul Rusesabigina sets out to save his family. But when he sees that the world will not intervene in the massacre of minority Tutsis, he finds courage to open his hotel to over 1,200 refugees. This is the true story of one man's brave stance against savagery during the 1994 Rwandan conflict.
