Makes me so so glad I wasn't born in that part of the world.

Don Cheadle did a perfect job leading and the storyline was engrossing. Much like you said,
it's the kind of film that makes me feel grateful for living where I do :)

Indeed, it's the closest any film has ever come to making me cry.

I saw this one a couple of years ago and really liked it. I'll be seeing it again soon. The OP is spot on - I'm glad I don't live in that part of the world either.

I read An Ordinary Man by Paul Rusesabagina in high school and then watched Hotel Rwanda after. We analyzed the book to pieces because it was AP Lit, but I remember the movie being very moving. Don Cheadle earns high marks for his work and for preparing an important story for the masses.
