Ordinary Man, An
During the 1994 Rwandan genocide, Paul Rusesabagina, the manager of the upscale Hotel Milles Collines, manages to save not only his immediate family, but more than 1200 other Tutsi and moderate Hutu refugees. Using only his verbal skills (and a few well chosen bottles of alcohol), he keeps everyone safe in the hotel for seventy-six days.
