Somebody sent me the link to the site..the intro starts out and when the words "when a country descended into madness...and the world closed its eyes" are on the screen, you see, very prominently, large UN trucks leaving..a couple of shots. You also see this man standing in front of a group of Christians/nuns.

This is the first I've seen of this movie...having known somebody who was in Rwanda when all of this started (he and his family were smuggled out of the country later on)..I'm looking forward to it.

I saw the trailer to this movie. From what I saw in that they were slapping the UN around.

I was mistaken, there was a short thread on this here last month - this thread. True story.

I heard this was an excellent movie, and will definitely impact those who see it.

I bought this movie. It is a good movie, IMO. The UN, IMO, was shown for the cowards they are.

A relative of mine flew for Canadian helicopter firm contracted to the U.N. served as transportation for the U.N. mission that served as observers in Rwanda. The individual in charge of the mission, a Canadian army General, alarmed by the deterioration of events (prior to the mass killings) informed the U.N. in New York of his concerns ... only to be ignored. The reason he was ignored had more to do with the fact the U.N., other than having observers on the ground, are toothless in the event of emergencies requiring immediate action ... they're a deliberative body incapable of protecting anyone in the short term ... or, in the long term for that matter.
