Hotel Rwanda (2004) told the true story of Paul Rusesabagina. A hotel manager who sheltered over 1,200 Tutsi refugees during the 1994 Rwandan genocide, using his wits, connections, and the facade of his luxury hotel to protect them from certain death. Don Cheadle delivered one of the decade's most powerful performances, earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. The film brought global attention to one of the most devastating tragedies of the 20th century and remains one of the most important films of the 2000s. Hotel Rwanda on VHS is notable as one of the last prestige dramas released in the format. By 2004, VHS was rapidly disappearing. A film this important deserves to be seen in any format. Never forget. VHS tape. Pre-owned. See photos for condition.
