Hotel Rwanda Essay

The film hotel Rwanda is about a man named Paul Rusebagina who worked in a hotel in Rwanda, Rwanda was going through a war phase and The Hutu's wanted to kill all the Tutsis because of earlier incidents between the two nations. What caused this was the Tutsis when they stole Hutu land and treated them like slaves. Paul turns his hotel into a refugee camp for Tutsis while the Hutus are fighting back.

In the film hotel Rwanda, the Tutsis are being hunted and assassinated so paul lets them hide in his hotel and his hotel slowly turns into a refugee camp. This was a big deal for all the people whose lives depended on itI paul could not stand to see all these people die while he got to live so he chose to save them. Which is why this is a significant response to challenges, paul risked his life by saving 1268 people from dying. If
Paul says he did this because he could not leave and watch them die knowing that he could help. Paul leaves his family and goes back to the hotel and keeps it open to the Tutsi refugees this is significant because if paul did not go back to help them thousands of lives would have been lost because these refugees were depending on the hotel as a safe house from the Hutus. If paul left the refugees would have to find shelter in abandoned buildings or other places that put them in a high-risk situation.

In conclusion, I believe paul made all these choices to help the Tutsis because his family was part Tutsi, also he had a sense of authority in the area and with that sense of authority, he could help the Tutsi refugees survive by using his hotel of a safe house. I also believe paul did this because he did not want to feel guilt if thousands of lives were lost because he did not stay. In total all these choices paul made he saved over 1200
