Based on a true story
My comments: A tearjerker. The retelling of the story of three families and the genocide in Rwanda beginning in 1994. Two of the families are very religious, and there's a strong Christian belief-in-God that makes up part of the foundation of the story. But even for a non-believer -- this non-believer in particular -- the story was more than righteous. We can all help. We can all make a difference in the world. All it takes is a little love, a little compassion, a little understanding, and a dose of hope. With or without religion, doesn't matter. I love the way all three stories intertwined - and if it weren't true I would definitely say there were too many coincidences! At the end, just before the credits, it explains what happened to the people involved in the story and then ends with a wonderful message from one of the protagonists.
