Hotel Rwanda is an extremely powerful movie. Academy Award nominations for it were announced today.
One of the most gripping parts of the dialogue in the movie flows something like this (this is the quote as best as I can remember it- forgive any errors):
"How can they do nothing?"
"In their eyes, you are not a black man. You are not even a nigger. You are an African."
The story, as it is told, is an amazing reflection of world politics and media denial. My fear is that, in 10 years, another similar movie could be made reflecting the current events in Darfur, Sudan.
