Extremely important and powerful film, full of insight and anger. More explicit and centered than Hotel Rwanda. Less accomplished as a film per se, but extremely eye-opening for anyone who cares about history.
its a really disturbing movie which is beautiful in the way it presents the genocide..i cant believe men can kill men like this, that such mass exterminations take place..and go by unnoticed..men can fall so low.
loved it....was in tears the whole time..." if only i could do something i would have done everything and anything possible in my power to never ever let that happen again"
Wow, it makes you sit and think. It is completely a diferent film than Hotel Rwanda, and in itself cabable of creating a new outlook from the viewer. Amazing!
This is an amazing movie.....a must see. Also, I would recommend a book called 'A Long Way Gone' which is a gripping read from cover to cover. It's based on the experiences of a child soldier in Seria Leone, around the same timescale as the Sometimes in April movie is based. I totally agree with the Darfur comments posted above....why do these situations continue daily, not only in Africa, & so little media coverage????
