Hotel Rwanda

As part of the Chambers Lecture Series, Boston College hosted a lecture by Paul Rusesabagina, the real-life hero of Hotel Rwanda. A packed house listened to his emotional account of the horrific events later told in the movie. The speaker and his speech proved to be very controversial as many of the audience questions came from Rwandans who were not so happy with Paul's account of the events and his opinions of the overall conflict. Whether he is right or wrong, truthful or not, the questioning did remind everyone that there are almost always at least two sides to every story.
