From Rwanda to Cambodia, from Indonesia to Bosnia Herzegovina and Sabra and Shatila, the lens of cinema does not stop recording its testimonies. The 1984 film “The Killing Fields” depicts the genocide committed by the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia during the 1970s.
“Hotel Rwanda”, directed by Terry George, is based on real events in its depiction of the genocide in Rwanda in 1994. The film reveals the absurdity and strangeness of Western interventions, and the complicity of Western society.
