This movie showed the great influence of media. In the movie, it was like the radio controlling all the Hutus. The relay convinced the Hutus to kill all the Tutis or they will be killed by them. This isn't the truth. Most of the Tutis were unarmed. How can they fight back? It is nonsense, but the radio station successfully led the Hutus to hatred and inspired them to cause genocide. Amazingly, only one quote can convince the whole society.
Paul was a brave man who even left his family and went to care the Rwanda people. If I was in that case, I wouldn't have done anything but wait to die. If Paul wasn't there for the people, all could have died there in Rwanda. Here is Paul caring his people with all his heart and we, as in others that are out in the world, do nothing. It was a shock that a tribes war has lasted quite long and people were ignorant with what was happening in Rwanda. What a shame. The Europeans had the power to stop the war or at least rescue the people in the hotel, but they only saved their people and fleed. What is this? Racial discrimination? It was like neglecting Paul's efforts. In conclusion, I saw how media can be powerful in many ways, controlling the whole society and that we should have more attention in what is going on in this chaotic world.
