Mr. Paul Rusesabagina
Last year, I had the opportunity to hear Paul Rusesabagina speak at Mercyhurst College. He is the man upon whom the film, Hotel Rwanda, was based. He is a fascinating man from Rwanda who has since fled with his family to Belgium. In his talk, Mr. Rusesabagina describes the atrocities that he and his family endured in the war-torn Rwanda. He talked about how close the film's depiction was compared to his real life story.

That had to be tough to sit through emotionally...
It was very intriguing not so much emotional. He was thorough in discussing the atrocities along with the political background to bring it all together. I went with MK because her sister got us tickets. She told me about it and it just fell into my lap, fortunately!
