Sometimes in April[views:1947][posts:6]______________________________________ [Apr 20,2005 1:19pm - swamplorddvm ""] "Sometimes in April" Has anybody seen this movie yet? I wouldn't think many here would bother. But you should. It's a rather interesting movie about the genocide in Rwanda. I heard about thins most wack event afew years ago but I really didn't know much about it. Several hudren THOUSAND "Tutsis" were killed by the "hutu" in less than a month. (if I remember correctly.) There's another movie about that called "Hotel Rwanda". I have yet to see that one. |
