Hotel Rwanda 2004 Hundreds of thousands of people died in the 1994 war between Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda, a country on the other side of the world. The streets have turned into a field of corpses. While the entire world hasn't raised a finger on this human condition, hotel owner Paul shows incredible dedication by saving the lives of 1,200 people and turning his hotel into a sanctuary. Nominated for the Best Actor Oscar for his outstanding performance of Don Cheadle, the film is a true human drama and an original heroic story.
