"It is as though history gave us another chance to redeem ourselves for our failure in Rwanda, and we're failing yet again."
If Hotel Rwanda upset you, I think you should definitely see this movie. The Devil Came on Horseback follows the story of Capt. Brian Steidle, a retired marine that took a job by the African Union to monitor a cease-fire between the Arab Sudanese government and African rebels. As his mission progressed, he became an eye witness to the developing genocide.
The movie was excellent. It does more than document the acts of genocide in Darfur. It follows Capt. Steidle's journey from all-American, gun loving marine, to reluctant a witness, to an activist.
This definitely ranks up with the best documentaries I've seen and I would recommend it with Town-like aggressiveness to anyone. I gave it a 5/5 on Netflix.
