Hotel Rwanda is a horrifying story, but yet every eye-opening. Many years after Rwanda got independence from Belgium high crime and tension broke-out between the different types of Africans. It was a battle between the Hutu and Tutsi. Paul, a Hutu African man, was a manager at the luxury hotel in Kigali. Throughout the years he would go out of his way to please his guests and friends (mainly whites) in hopes of in a time of need he could count on them for help. Paul is married to a Tutsi and had 3 children, which were considered mixed. The whole movie is about him using his favors to save the people.

In the beginning of the movie, Paul’s focus was solely his family. He told his wife he was saving up favors with powerful people to help him and his family in a time of great need. As time went on, the focus changed to not only his family, but his neighbors and countrymen. Seeing all the bodies lying on the ground and seeing people get mistreated or killed in front of him changed his motives. Rather than abandoning the refugees at the hotel, he sends his family to safety and stays behind to assist the others at the Millie Collines hotel in hopes of making them safe as well. As he was making this mindset change, he was displaying Utilitarianism. He sacrificed his own safety to ensure safety for the rest of the refugees. You could also say that he displayed Deontologicalism throughout the movie. He felt as if it was his duty to protect and serve his family and everyone else
