The Journey with Jesus: Film Reviews
Film Reviews by Dan Clendenin
About half way through this film hotel manager Paul Rusesabagina (a Hutu) and his family are hiding on the roof of the hotel, and his wife Tatiana (a Tutsi) turns to him and says, "Paul, you are a good man." That, and not so much the genocide of nearly a million Rwandans, is the theme of this award-winning film—how one person's bravery, cunning, diplomacy, deceit, bribery and wits saved over a thousand people, many of them Tutsi refugees that the Hutu extremists sought to exterminate. For a longer look at the actual genocide read We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will be Killed With Our Families: Stories from Rwanda by Philip Gourevitch. For provocation and inspiration based upon a true story, watch this film.
