Shake Hands with the Devil

Eva Holland – “Powerful story of the genocide as witnessed by Canadian general Romeo Dallaire, the leader of UN forces in Rwanda at the time. He tells the wrenching story of being forced to watch the killing unfold, and being ordered not to intervene. Dallaire later attempted suicide.”

We Wish To Inform You…

The book, We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will be Killed With Our Families, is a collection of gripping stories and interviews with a cross section of Rwandans, from victims to opposition groups, and much more.

Hotel Rwanda

This near flawless movie depicts the Rwanda genocide through the eyes of a hotel manager, Paul Rusesabagina played by actor Don Cheadle. Rusesabagina saved 1,200 fellow Rwandas by hiding them in his hotel. Cheadle gives his best performance to date.

Eva Holland – “I thought this one was pretty well-done, for a Hollywood movie. Restrained rather than sensational, and a better movie for it.”

Machete Season

In this book, 10 militia members, all friends from the same village, speak out in interviews detailing their participation in the genocide.

Aiding Violence

Eva Holland – “Thought-provoking academic work that offers controversial arguments about the role the international development industry played in setting the stage for genocide in Rwanda.”
