Shake Hands With The Devil

Shake Hands with the Devil is a movie about the Rwandan Genocide, from the perspective of Canadian Lieutenant-General Romeo Dallaire. The Rwandan Genocide occurred in 1994 over the span of about 100 days, where 800000 people were brutally murdered. Prior to the Genocide, the hostility between the Hutus and the Tutsis was growing for many years. The Tutsis considered themselves superior to the Hutus due to their Caucasian features and preference by the Belgians, who colonized Rwanda. The divide between the Hutus and Tutsis furthered over the years, as the Tutsis held more of a monopoly over Rwanda. In August of 1993, the Arusha Accords agreement was signed, which planned for power-sharing between the Hutus and Tutsis in the government. However, many Hutu officials were opposed to the agreement.
