In 1993, Canadian Lieutenant General Roméo Dallaire was sent by the United Nations to Rwanda as commander of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR). Its mission, to ensure the ceasefire, is underfunded, excessively bureaucratized and made up of military units which come from dozens of countries and which each have a very different program... These are Lt Gen Dallaire's efforts to stop the madness of the Rwandan Genocide, despite the complete indifference of his superiors.

"Incredible story of an unimaginable genocide and a hero that underestimated what he was able to do along with the UN peacekeepers who stayed behind while the world abandoned Rwanda. Heartbreaking"

"True story. Not for the faint of heart. Not fun to watch. Nonetheless, should be watched by everyone. Be ready to see the very ugly consequences of many of the great failures of humanity, how rich nations and great organizations prioritize their own interests and abandon the victims of the worst evils and those few braves who stand against it.
