Hotel Rwanda




Ten years ago some of the worst atrocities in the history of mankind took place in the country of Rwanda--and in an era of high-speed communication and round the clock news, the events went almost unnoticed by the rest of the world. In only three months, one million people were brutally murdered. In the face of these unspeakable actions, inspired by his love for his family, an ordinary man summons extraordinary courage to save the lives of over a thousand helpless refugees, by granting them shelter in the hotel he manages.



The shot pictured above shows a good use of lighting - the natural light on one side of his face shows his hope for the future.

This shot shows a good use of composition - the way the main character is stood at the front shows how much responsibility is on his shoulders, and how much the people stood behind him expect from him.
