Amazing movie.
I have been a big fan of Don Cheadle for many years now, I don't care if his character is a good guy or a bad guy in whatever movie he will find a way for you to like him.
But this movie is just disturbing on so many levels. Kind of summed up in the one scene where Nick Nolte the UN Colonel is explaining to him that no country will step in to stop the slaughtering and says...
"You're not even n iggers, you're Africans."
Even more disturbing is to find out the French actively supplied the Hutus. We're on hand to watch one of the very first slaughters of 45,000 men, women and children and even helped dig and throw bodies into massive graves...and after that covered them up, planted grass and played volleyball on top of them.
We never learn anything from these "mistakes."
Here we are still arguing over bullshit in Iraq, when it's clear the only reason we are there is because we can get something in return, whether it's control of key points in the middle east, or oil.
While on the other hand we turned our backs on Rwanda, and what is currently going on in the Congo and other countries because they have nothing to offer us.
