Shake Hands with the Devil: The Journey of Rom�o Dallaire

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

I know this is from a few pages ago, but THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I've read the book and several others on Rwanda, but I had no idea there was a documentary of this!

What a harrowing, frustrating, depressing story, especially for Dallaire. I really appreciate his brutal honesty about all of the agencies involved and his own feelings as well. In the book, he quotes someone in a pretty high level decision making position - I don't have it in front of me so I'm sure I won't do it justice - who says they have reservations about going to help Rwanda because the only resource there is humans. It boggles the mind.

I'll be watching the poo poo outta this tonight.
