I grew up in South Africa, but now live in Canada, and being an inveterate reader of film credits, I did not realize until the end of the movie that this was a South Africa/Canada co-production. I have long been interested in the feature film industries of both countries. This is a movie that could NEVER have been produced in Hollywood, as it is an uncomfortable and scathing indictment of the neglect and disinterest of the West in what went on in Rwanda. The events show in this movie are no different from what took place during the Holocaust, and what is going on in Sudan and other areas at this very moment. It is not enough that every thinking, feeling person must see this movie. We should all rise up and point our fingers at our governments, who did NOTHING, while these terrible events were taking place. For anyone who has not yet done so, read General Delaire's book about his experiences in Rwanda, "Shake hands with the Devil"
