Shake Hands with the Devil: The Journey of Roméo Dallaire quote:Between April and June 1994, an estimated 800,000 Rwandans were killed in 100 days. Most of the dead were Tutsis by the hands of the Hutus. The genocide began when Rwandan president Juvenal Habyarimana's plane was shot down above Kigali airport on April 6, 1994. One of the most powerful documentary films I've ever seen, if you study international relations it's a must see. Actually, if you have any interest in the future of humanity. It doesn't pull any punches, so be forewarned. Part One Part Two edit: fixed links lexleningrad fucked around with this message at 10:47 on Feb 20, 2010 |

gently caress logic posted:I'll be watching the poo poo outta this tonight. Glad you're interested! Let me know what you thought of it after you've seen it. It's a pretty rare film these days and really deserves to be seen. edit: There is also a feature film made from this, it's alright but you should only watch it if you know the history/read the book/watched the documentary because it doesn't do a very god job of explaining the complexities. It kind of runs like a Hotel Rwanda/Blood Diamond based on true events. To contribute another one of my lesser-known favorites: NO VOLVERAN -The Venezuelan Revolution Now  quote:Follow the factory workers of Sanitarios Maracay in their struggle against sabotage and corruption, as they pave the way forward with their unprecedented campaign for full nationalisation under workers' control. In this feature length documentary, meet many of the key revolutionary figures to find out how they are trying build socialism of the 21st century, and how it is changing peoples lives.
