Synopsis

Shake Hands with the Devil (2007)

In 1993, Canadian Lieutenant General Roméo Dallaire was sent by the United Nations to Rwanda as commander of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR). Its mission, to ensure the ceasefire, is underfunded, excessively bureaucratized and made up of military units which come from dozens of countries and which each have a very different program… These are Lt Gen Dallaire’s efforts to stop the madness of the Rwandan Genocide, despite the complete indifference of his superiors.
