Human Rights Essay

At first I was not too thrilled that I was required to write an essay on a movie. The assignment was so vauge and I had no idea what to write. I missed all the showings of the movies and just arbitrarily choose a movie to watch. That movie was Hotel Rwanda.

Prior to watching it I knew nothing of this movie. I just knew alot of people said it was very sad and horrible. But I figured I could squeeze atleast 3 pages out of viewing it...but never would I thought that movie would have moved me so much. Granted, I never shed a tear [I'm a pretty tough cookie har har har] but my eyes did water. Throughout the whole movie I kept wishing to myself that this was fiction- that this was not happening with our government's knowledge and we're doing NOTHING to prevent it.

I put so much heart into writing the paper after seeing the film- I even tried to keep it formal and not write in the first person, but the latter half of my paper I just had to put my emotions and opinions in.

So thank you Cynthia for requiring this paper.
