Comment: Don Cheadle was ROBBED at the Oscar Awards.

Comment: Right on Test.. Jamie Foxx did a good job and all but I think Don Cheadle shoulda won that hands down

Comment: No doubt that Cheadle was robbed. Who would Kagame rather have the movie profile -- him? Regardless of whether or not the movie received the Hollywood treatment, it brought much needed attention and aid to the plight of Rwandan refugees. If he wants the 'true' story to be told, he NOW has a receptive audience and platform thanks in part to Hotel Rwanda.

Comment: As a Rwandan and a Genocide survivor, this is to let you know that Rwandans have nothing against the Movie itself; the only problem is that Paul Rusesabagina is using the Hollywood fiction of how he is portrayed in the movie to rewrite the Rwandan history for his own selfish interest: He has just finished writing a Book " An Ordinary Man: a true story..." and not only in his book he lies about the truth about what happened, but also his words are hurting a National Reconciliation process that Rwandans are working so hard to accomplish. There are clear facts and examples. We can not sit quiet and see this man tearing apart a nation that is trying to heal it's unfortunate past.

Comment: >Mikhail- Money changes people. Maybe that's what happened to Paul Rusesabagina. It's a blessing that you survived that nightmare. I hope that the truth of what happened lives on so that it won't be repeated.

Comment: ====>Mikhail...peace and blessings to you brother for surviving. Given what you and Kagame are stating, what are the people of Rwanda proposing to do in order to inform the world of the true travesty that went on there.

Comment: Thanks to all for the kind words. Rwandans have undertaken a path to Nation Rebuilding through Development and Reconciliation. I try to tell the facts about the truth around the Genocide to everyone I come accross. Here is a link to other concerned Rwandans comments: http://www.cinematical.com/2006/06/01/rwanda-claims-ho llywood-historically-inaccurate/#comments Thanks

Comment: thank you, Mikhail, for the links and the insight. it's hard to read that after watching the movie and being so moved by it... nikki.

Comment: You are welcome Nadilla. You can't imagine how even harder it is for some of us who lost family members(including my Father) to see someone, like Paul Rusesabagina, using this tragedy to make money and distort the truth. Take Care
