Arizona
Alliance for Peace and Justice Presents
AN INTERNATIONAL
FILM SERIES ON
WORLD ISSUES & U.S. INVOLVEMENT
**JOIN US
THIS TIME FOR DINNER
AND A MOVIE**
Our third
film in the series is
HOTEL
RWANDA
Starring Don Cheadle, Sophie Okonedo & Nick Nolte
This movie
tells the true story of Rwanda’s descent into madness. Cheadle
plays
the role of Paul Rusesabagina, a hotel manager who sets out to
save his own
family but ends up saving over 1,200 refugees from the massacre
of minority
Tutsis by Hutu tribesmen, using only his words and his wits to
ward off the militia waiting at the hotel gate.
Released in 2004, this
PG-13 film is 2 hours 2 minutes in length.
Our dinner menu will
feature both West African and Rwandan
recipes, in honor of the regions we’ve been featuring in
our films.
The film will be followed
by a discussion of how Western colonial powers helped
create the situation leading to this disastrous event, and how
it relates to
a divide and conquer mentality here in the U.S.
The dinner and film
will be on Saturday, January 21, at 6 p.m.

318 E., 15th St., Tempe
