Sin In Hotel Rwanda

Personally when I think of a hotel, I think of a warm comfortable bed, a relaxing time, and maybe even a complimentary breakfast. Unfortunately that isn’t what happened in the film Hotel Rwanda, which is based on a true story. Throughout the film, the nation Uganda experienced a genocide.
