Shake Hands with the Devil (2007)

Based on Lt-Gen Romeo Dallaire's award-winning best-seller, this is the true story of the UN peacekeeping mission sent to Rwanda in 1993. Just months after Canadian commander Dallaire raises the UN flag, the President's plane is shot down. Conciliatory speeches are undercut by mysterious massacres. Under-funded and plagued by UN bureaucracy, Dallaire attempts the impossible as a secret but long-planned genocidal campaign against the Tutsi minority begins.
