In 2004, the Academy Award-nominated movie Hotel Rwanda lionized hotel supervisor Paul Rusesabagina for single-handedly saving the lives of all who searched for refuge in the Hotel des Mille Collines during Rwanda's genocide contrary to the Tutsi in 1994. Due to the film, the real-life Rusesabagina has been compared to Oskar Schindler, but unbeknownst to the general public, the hotel's refugees do not advocate Rusesabagina's version of the incidents. Within the wake of Hotel Rwanda's international success, Rusesabagina is one of the most well-known Rwandans and now the smiling face of the extremely Hutu Power teams who drove the genocide. He is accused by the Rwandan prosecutor standard to be a genocide negationist and funding the terrorist group Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR). For the first time, learn what really occurred inside the surfaces of Hotel des Mille Collines. In Inside the Hotel Rwanda, survivor Edouard Kayihura explains to his own personal story of what life was really like during those harrowing days and nights within the surfaces of that infamous hotel and offers the testimonies of other people who survived there, from Hutu and Tutsi to UN peacekeepers. Kayihura writes of your divided culture and his quest to the area he presumed would be safe from slaughter. The reserve exposes the Hollywood hero of the film Hotel Rwanda, Paul Rusesabagina, as a profiteering and politically ambitious Hutu Electric power sympathizer who extorted money from those who searched for refuge, threatening to send those who didn't pay to the génocidaires, despite pleas from the hotel's corporate ownership to avoid. Inside the Hotel Rwanda reaches once a memoir, a critical deconstruction of your heralded Hollywood movie purported to be factual, and a politics analysis aimed at revealing a falsely created hero using his fame to be a political make, spouting the same cultural apartheid that brought on the genocide two decades previously. Kayihura's Inside the Hotel Rwanda provides an honest and unflinching first-hand accounts of the truth of life inside the hotel, revealing the person who exploited refugees and dropping much-needed light on the plight of his subjects.
