Don Cheadle plays a great character in this one and he was nominated for a number of awards including an Oscar. This is the true story of Paul Rusesabagina a hotel manager who becomes involved in the conflict between the Tutsi and Hutu people during the civil war in Rwanda. Paul (Cheadle) is the simple manager of a hotel and tries desperately to remain neutral to the conflict despite pressure from both sides. Finally he feels the need to help the thousands of Tutsi refugees who are seeking safety from gangs of Hutu roaming the cities searching for Tutsi victims. It is a wonderful story of how one man can really make a difference in the lives of so many people. Don't expect this one to be cheery though, given the subject matter, it's a sad story about the nature of prejudice. I would queue this one for sure.
