In my World Geography class's unit on Africa we watch the movie Hotel Rwanda. My students are moved by this movie and genuinely interested in the many issues that are presented by the film. I remind them that it is still a movie and like to also show them clips from news programs and some clips from documentaries (that are appropriate for the classroom). I just found the clips above, using Blinkx, that provide clips from Rwanda and a recent news interview with the current Rwandan president Paul Kagame. I use articles as well to help students see a more complete portrayal of what happened in Rwanda, but I think that video images help them to see more clearly what humans are capable of.
