Riveting story
The British Council and Hutch with support from Taj Connemara, Unwind Center and Barista present Buzz, a season of music, movies and spoken word. The programme will include U.K. artistes as well as local talent and will focus on seminal, innovative and contemporary contributions from the U.K. to the field of music, film and literature.
As part of the movie strand of Buzz, Hotel Rwanda will be screened on February 1, 7 p.m. at the British Council, 737, Anna Salai.
Nominated for three Academy Awards and with a star cast of Don Cheadle, Sophie Okonedo and Nick Nolte, Hotel Rwanda is a true story of one man's brave stance against savagery during the 1994 Rwandan conflict. As his country descends into madness, five-star hotel manager Paul Rusesabagina (Cheadle) sets out to save his family. But when he sees that the world will not intervene in the massacre of the minority Tutsis, he finds the courage to open his hotel to over 1,200 refugees. Now with the rabid militia at the gates, he has only his wits and words to help keep them alive another hour, another day.
Passes for the event are available at the British Council and at Hutch shops on a first-come-first-served basis. For details call 42050628.
