Hotel Rwanda (excellent new film- based on true story)
Hotel Rwanda (excellent new film- based on true story)
Hotel Rwanda is based upon true story of the 1994 genocide/holocaust in Rwanda - when the developed world stuck it's head in the sand as ~1 million were slaughtered. Tells the story of a Luxury Hotel manager (connected to key players on all sides of the table) who heroically saved/sheltered ~1000 people. http://hotelrwanda.com/intro.html For the first time ever, we have the ways and the means to end poverty on a global scale. It will not be too difficult to rebuild the world so that everyone can live in dignity and human decency. There is nothing decent or dignified about ignoring the plight of those in the pits of poverty - of the 24,000 who die every single day of the year (90% of whom are children under 10) while tons of food rots in warehouses around the world. The biggest obstacles to eliminating poverty globally are selfishness, complacency, and ignorance. ================== "The developed nations of the world cannot remain secure islands of prosperity in a seething sea of poverty. The storm is rising against the privileged minority of the earth, from which there is no shelter in isolation and armament. The storm will not abate until a just distribution of the fruits of the earth enables men everywhere to live in dignity and human decency." Martin Luther King, Jr "Without sharing there can be no justice; without justice there can be no peace; without peace there can be no future."
