Rwanda

I ran into a guy in my doc class today who said one of the best films he saw at Sundance was a documentary following the chief UN soldier in Rwanda. It's a huge indictment of an impotent organization not doing a damn thing while a genocide occurs under their noses. The same subject is, of course, dealt with in Hotel Rwanda, although, in my opinion, not very well.

BUT - the big thing to me is that the same EXACT type of thing is going on right now in Sudan and the UN is repeating it's mistake by sitting around and refusing to call it genocide. What the fuck?
