  Rwanda
  The Republic of Rwanda (, , or in English, or in Kinyarwanda) is a unitary republic of central and eastern Africa. It borders Uganda to the north; Tanzania to the east; Burundi to the south; and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west. Rwanda is landlocked but is noted for its lakes, particularly Lake Kivu, which occupies the floor of the Rift Valley along most of the country's western border. Although close to the equator, the country has a temperate climate due to its high elevation, with the highest point being Mount Karisimbi. The terrain consists of mountains and gently rolling hills, with plains and swamps in the east. Abundant wildlife, including rare mountain gorillas, have led to a fast-growing tourism sector. The largest cities in Rwanda are Kigali, Gitarama, and Butare. Unlike many African countries, Rwanda is home to only one significant ethnic and linguistic group, the Banyarwanda. The country is well known for its native styles of dance, particularly the Intore dance, and for its drummers. Kinyarwanda, English and French are the official languages.

Taglines:

A true story of a man who fought impossible odds to save everyone he could and created a place where hope survived.
When a country descended into madness and the world turned its back, one man had to make a choice
When the world closed its eyes, he opened his arms.

Quotes:

[first lines]::George Rutaganda: [voiceover] When people ask me, good listeners, why do I hate all the Tutsi, I say, "Read our history." The Tutsi were collaborators for the Belgian colonists, they stole our Hutu land, they whipped us. Now they have come back, these Tutsi rebels. They are cockroaches. They are murderers. Rwanda is our Hutu land. We are the majority. They are a minority of traitors and invaders. We will squash the infestation. We will wipe out the RPF rebels. This is RTLM, Hutu power radio. Stay alert. Watch your neighbours.

Dube: Aah, that is a fine cigar, sir!::Paul Rusesabagina: This is a Cohiba cigar. Each one is worth 10,000 francs.::Dube: 10,000 francs?::Paul Rusesabagina: Yes, yes. But it is worth more to me than 10,000 francs.::Dube: What do you mean, sir?::Paul Rusesabagina: If I give a businessman 10,000 francs, what does that matter to him? He is rich. But, if I give him a Cohiba cigar straight from Havana, Cuba. Hey, that is style, Dube.::Dube: [smiles] Style!

Colonel Oliver: We're here as peace keepers, not peace makers.

Jack: [after Paul thanks him for shooting footage of the genocide] I think if people see this footage, they'll say Oh, my God, that's horrible. And then they'll go on eating their dinners.

Paul Rusesabagina: I am glad that you have shot this footage and that the world will see it. It is the only way we have a chance that people might intervene.::Jack: Yeah and if no one intervenes, is it still a good thing to show?::Paul Rusesabagina: How can they not intervene when they witness such atrocities?::Jack: I think if people see this footage they'll say, "oh my God that's horrible," and then go on eating their dinners. [pause] What the hell do I know?

Colonel Oliver: [explaining why the world will not intervene] You're black. You're not even a nigger. You're an African.

Paul Rusesabagina: There will be no rescue, no intervention for us. We can only save ourselves. Many of you know influential people abroad, you must call these people. You must tell them what will happen to us... say goodbye. But when you say goodbye, say it as if you are reaching through the phone and holding their hand. Let them know that if they let go of that hand, you will die. We must shame them into sending help.

Pat Archer: [relating the last words of the orphan slain by the Hutus] Please don't let them kill me. I... I promise I won't be Tutsi anymore.

[last lines]::Pat Archer: [walking with family towards bus] They said that there wasn't any room.::Paul Rusesabagina: There's always room.

Colonel Oliver: [after telling Paul the West thinks his people are dirt] They're not going to stay, Paul. They're not going to stop the slaughter.
