| Why you should read: |
A taut thriller that never pulls a punch as you spend close to 3 months in a cramped cellar with four women during the Rwandan massacre. This is a tense and emotional movie. Presenting moral issues, real life drama, suspense, and a constant feeling of claustrophobia, this story never stops posing questions on humanity and morality. A compelling story about surviving a real-life horror. HOTEL RWANDA meets PANIC ROOM. |
