Often Pictures speak more than that of Words.Here are some of feature films based on Rwandan Genocide

1.Shooting Dogs (called Beyond the Gates in the US) (2005)

It is based on the experiences of BBC news producer David Belton, who worked in Rwanda during the Rwandan Genocide.The film's title refers to the actions of UN soldiers in shooting at the stray dogs that scavenged the bodies of dead. Since the UN soldiers were not allowed to shoot at the Hutus that had caused the deaths in the first place, the shooting of dogs is symbolic of the madness of the situation that the film attempts to capture

Y CHE is IMMORTAL

One may consider Che as another revolutionist, who did heroics and liberated a suffering nation from an aristocrat.But he was not a revolutionist whose thirst would just settle with the freedom of a single country( Cuba ) or even a continent (Latin America), as he wanted the liberation of the whole mankind from the evil clutches of Imperialism.

Unlike Castro he was not interested in any political power (resigned the Economic minister/Minister of Industries)which many would settle with after being instrumental in such a historic revolution, but he went on to fight for the suppressed & exploited people throught the Latin American continent.

While Castro wants to be the godfather, the patron of the Cuban people, Che lived-- and died-- to be the servant of the people.Thus, Che's purpose in Latin America can best be described as a revolutionary with a pure commitment to humanity and to bringing social justice to the oppressed

During the early 1950's Che Guevara ( though suffered from Asthma )spent a great deal of time travelling throughout the Latin American continent, experiencing the hardships and oppression of the people where he saw cruelty, exploitation, misery and injustices.It is this journey which changed his life & Whole of a world , as he began to realise the answer for this million dollar question WHO(Y) R V .

So according to Che V R Here only to lead a Life which is equal by all means & if any one in this planet is deprived of this very basic right to live , it is our responsibility to join hands with the deprived one to fight for his right

. Long Live ERNESTO GUEVARA DE LA SERNA

Quotes of CHE

More than 3 billion human beings on this planet right now live on less than $2 a day. And every day that breaks, 40,000 childen — more than one every second! — succumb to diseases linked to chronic hunger. They are there, always there, the terrifying conditions of injustice and inequality that led Che many decades ago to start his journey toward that bullet and that photo awaiting him in Bolivia


Silence is argument carried out by other means

We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it

I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist. The people liberate themselves

The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall

There are no boundaries in this struggle to the death. We cannot be indifferent to what happens anywhere in the world, for a victory by any country over imperialism is our victory; just as any country's defeat is a defeat for all of us

Better to die standing, than to live on your knees.

Che Guevara

Ernesto (Che) Guevara de la Serna (1928-1967) - Nickname "Che"

Times Magazine named him one of the most influential people of the 20th century while an photograph of him entitled Guerrillero Herioco(shown), was declared "the most famous photograph in the world"

Forty years after his execution, Che's life and deeds still remain a contentious issue.
Some view Che Guevara as a hero; for example,Nelson Mandela referred to him as "an inspiration for every human being who loves freedom" while Jean-Paul Sartre described him as "not only an intellectual but also the most complete human being of our age." Guevara remains a beloved national hero to many in Cuba, where his image adorns the 3 $ Cuban Peso and school children begin each morning by pledging "We will be like Che." In his native homeland of Argentina, where high schools bear his name, numerous Che museums dot the country, which in 2008 unveiled a 12 foot bronze statue of him in his birth city of Rosario.
