Hotel Rwanda is the moving true story of one man's heroic efforts to save his family during the 1994 civil conflict that saw Hutu extremists systematically try and wipe out their Tutsi neighbours. Paul Rusesabagina - portrayed in a career defining performance by Don Cheadle - worked at the four star Hotel Des Mille Collines in the Rwandan capital of Kigali. The hotel was an oasis of luxury amidst a city of poverty. A Hutu, Rusesabagina's prominent position enabled him to befriend the wealthy and influential hotel guests. When Tutsi President Habyarimana is killed by Hutu rebels in April 1994, it prompts the wholesale slaughter of Tutsis. With the country in turmoil, Paul, his wife Tatiana (Sophie Okonedo), their children and everyone else he is able to bribe the army to save, including some Tutsi "cockroaches", seek refuge in the hotel. Their only protection is the nominal presence of UN forces, but when the word comes down that the West are effectively pulling out, it is left to Rusesabagina to protect the hundreds of people his de facto position of manager has left him in charge of.

This harrowing drama focuses on the indescribable human atrocities that took place in Rwanda a decade ago, through the story of two Hutu brothers whose relationship and private lives were forever changed in the midst of the genocide. Sometimes in April tells the story of a Hutu soldier who gets separated from his family - including his Tutsi wife - as he tries to take them to safety with the help of a fellow Hutu soldier.

Ten years later he is still trying to find out what happened to her and their two children. The film explores the failure of the world to intervene as Rwanda descended into chaos. The story is told in flashbacks with the action moving between Rwanda, New York and the International Criminal Tribunal in Arusha, Tanzania.

Shooting Dogs is a gripping and emotional story of two men's struggle for survival when caught up in one of the most brutal genocides in the twentieth century. John Hurt plays Michael, a priest who forges a friendship with Joe (Hugh Dancy) a young teacher. Together they have to confront the limits of their courage as they decide whether to stay or leave in the face of the 1994 Rwandan tragedy.

The film explores the powerful dilemma of peacekeepers caught up in a dangerous world, where they feel powerless to act effectively. Shooting Dogs used survivors as cast and crew and was filmed in places where killings in its story really happened. It is set in a Kigali school where Belgian United Nations peacekeepers were stationed before pulling out - leaving refugees who were later killed. The movie was filmed in the same school.

The year is 1994 and the beautiful young Josette is in love with Baptiste. But this is Rwanda, and they are Tutsis: Their blissful courtship and their families are torn apart as Hutu extremists incite devastating attacks on their fellow Tutsi countrymen. Culpability, complicity and betrayal abound as the sanctuary of the Church and protection by UN troops prove far from secure.
