Shake Hands With the Devil. This documentary sticks with you -- the idea that human life could be valued so little by so many is shocking. One hopes that the global community can learn from horrific events, but sadly we seem to repeat them too often.
Good reference on the genocide (read this if you still have questions after watching the documentary): http://www.unitedhumanrights.org/genocide/genocide_in_rwanda.htm
SS10 students -- having watched the documentary based on the book, and learned a bit of the background to the Rwandan Genocide of 1994, what do you think?
Why do you think it happened? What might have prevented it? What could prevent it from happening again somewhere else? What do you think of Dallaire's struggle?
