Over the course of the next 100 days, brother would turn against brother, tearing families apart and resulting in the death of almost 800,000 people. Based on actual events that occurred during the uprising, Raoul Peck's affecting war drama tells the tale of two such brothers, whose differing loyalties found them on opposing sides of the conflict, and whose lives would never be the same following this tragic turn of events. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Steven D. Greydanus, Decent Films Guide
Opts for a broader canvas [than Hotel Rwanda] both in time and space, exchanging a strong dramatic center for increased depth of detail and insight.

Andrea Chase, Killer Movie Reviews
a powerful and effective piece of filmmaking. Full of sadness and a fair amount of anger [yet] not vitriolic.
