It's hard not to think of HOTEL RWANDA while watching Michael Caton-Jones' harrowing dramatization of what happened to another group of Rwandan Tutsis who found themselves trapped in the capital city of Kigali during the 1994 Hutu-led slaughter, but in some ways this may be the more important film. Not because it's any more "true" — it is, in fact, centered around fictionalized main characters — but because the fate of those Tutsis who fled their homes for the "safety" of the U.N. compound at the Ecole Technique Officielle (ETO) is far more representative of what occurred that terrible spring than any other story of unlikely survival.
