From Publishers Weekly
In 1994, Rwanda endured a genocide of about 800,000 people, mostly minority Tutsi slaughtered by machete-wielding Hutu, the country's majority. During the three months of killing, Paul Rusesabagina, now often called the Rwandan Schindler, sheltered and saved more than 1,200 people in the hotel he managed in the capital city of Kigali. Hotel Rwanda is of course the acclaimed film about Rusesabagina, played by Don Cheadle; George is the film's director, and in this powerful volume he marshals writings by himself and others that provide context and commentary on both the movie and the holocaust that prompted it. The book most notably includes the screenplay of Hotel Rwanda by Keir Pearson and George, an inspiring and devastating script. Of only slightly less emotional impact is the transcript of "The Triumph of Evil," a Frontline/PBS documentary about the genocide and the West's (and the U.N.'s) neglect of it--among the commentators is Philip Gourevitch, whose We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families helped bring the genocide to global attention. Pieces by Pearson and George explain their involvement in the project (it all began in 1999 when a novelist friend of Pearson's told him Rusesabagina's story), followed by two journalists' accounts (by Brit Nicola Graydon and Hollywood reporter Anne Thompson) of Rusesabinga and the movie; a "history" section explains Rwanda's past. Also included is a list of books, Web and other resources. George writes in an epigraph, "For the dead of Murambi. I will never forget." This important book will inspire others to take the same vow.

Synopsis
From the Oscar-nominated writer of in the Name of the Father comes a deeply moving film about a Rwandan hotel manager turned true-life hero, starring Don Cheadle, Sophie Okonedo, Joaquin Phoenix, and Nick Nolte. Ten years ago as Rwanda descended into madness, one man made a promise to protect the family he loved - and ended up finding the courage to save over 1,200 people. Hotel Rwanda tells the inspiring story of Paul Rusesabagina who uses his courage and cunning to shelter literally hundreds of refugees from certain death. Drawn from Terry George's three years of research, this book includes articles chronicling the historical events and aftermath, a brief history and timeline, the story of the making of the film, and the complete screenplay.
