SHOOTING DOGS (2005)

Cast

Plot

1994, 800,000 killed in 100 days, a Catholic priest and an idealistic young English teacher are caught, both literally and morally, in the midst of the horror. How can they help the thousands of refugees who flee to their school, where the pathetic (Belgian) UN troops are billetted, in the hope of surviving the bloodthirsty Hutu mobs engaged in the wholesale massacre of the Tutsi minority? Like Hotel Rwanda this is a fully engaging and emotionally disturbing account of the horrors that humans can perpetuate on each other.
