In 1994, a tragic chapter in history unfolded when nearly one million Tutsi individuals were systematically murdered by Hutu soldiers, stemming from a violent dispute over land ownership. During this chaotic period, around 1,000 Tutsi refugees sought refuge within the walls of a luxury hotel in central Kigali, operated by Sabena Airlines. The man thrust into the role of protecting these vulnerable individuals was Paul Rusesabagina, played by Rhys Ifans, who worked tirelessly to shield the refugees from the multiple attacks by Hutu soldiers throughout this harrowing time.
