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
2.Shake Hands with the Devil (2007)
Based on Dallaire's autobiographical book Shake Hands with the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda,the film recounts Dallaire's harrowing personal journey during the 1994 Rwandan Genocide and how the United Nations failed to heed Dallaire's urgent pleas for further assistance to halt the massacre
