Synopsis
In 100 days—between April 6 and July 16, 1994—an estimated 800,000 men, women and children were brutally killed in the obscure African country of Rwanda. The victims—many horrifically hacked to death with machetes—were Tutsi, and moderate Hutus who supported them. One man was tasked by the United Nations with ensuring that peace was maintained in Rwanda—Canadian Lieutenant General Romeo Dallaire. But unsupported by U.N. headquarters and its Security Council far away in New York, Dallaire and his handful of soldiers were incapable of stopping the genocide.
