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.

Thank you for writing this review because it got me to watch this documentary tonight. My god, I can't believe this only happened ~15 years ago. I knew there was a genocide in Rwanda but the details were shocking. I'm definitely going to pick up the book this week.

It got pulled. Could someone post a new link please if they find one? I've been looking for a little while and can't find one.
