SEE THIS MOVIE, IF YOU DO NOTHING ELSE

This is a quick blog. But please read.

Make plans now. Go to the movie store today. Rent this movie: Hotel Rwanda.

This movie is, above all, the most important movie that everyone needs to see. We all heard of the atrocity of Rwanda...or should have. But what did we hear? Internal conflict? Can't get involved? We need time to determine if we are looking at a possible genocide?

How many of us know where Rwanda is in Africa? How many of us heard the report and did nothing? In America we suffer so little, and we have so much. As the hegemon of the world, how can we stand by? They weren't just numbers on a report. Each of the 800,000 or more was a person, a life.

But if you can watch this movie, and your soul doesn't bleed, question if you are really human anymore.
