SHAKE HANDS WITH THE DEVIL
|
Shake Hands with the Devil, based on Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire’s award-winning book of the same name, is the story of a Canadian commander torn between his duty and his conscience when he finds himself an eyewitness to hell on earth. In 1993, the United Nations dispatched Dallaire to Rwanda to oversee a fragile cease-fire. Once arrived in the tiny African country, Dallaire finds that the peace agreement between the rebels, led by the minority Tutsi, and government dominated by the Hutu majority, rests on shaky ground. Just months after he raises the UN flag, an unknown group shoots down the president’s plane, igniting a secret but long-planned genocidal campaign against the Tutsis as well as moderate Hutus. So begins a night of terror in Kigali.
