Sometimes in April is… impressive… Though Hotel Rwanda covers the same subject, you can’t really compare the two. Different angles. Hotel Rwanda covers people locked in, Sometimes in April covers what happened on the outside (though one of the main characters ends up in the hotel as well).

I was 13 at the time of the Rwanda genocide. I remember seeing some images on tv, vaguely, but it was something so distant… But it’s really shocking to think about what happened there, how many people were murdered in so short a time, simply because of one word in their passport. Every year we remember what happened in WWII, the holocaust. And we all say ‘never again!’. But since, we’ve had Rwanda, Srebrenica… For some bizar reason we keep making the same mistakes…
