Shake Hands with the Devil

- History
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.
Shake Hands with the Devil is a 2007 drama film that follows Canadian Lieutenant General Roméo Dallaire's efforts to prevent the Rwandan Genocide as commander of the UN peacekeeping mission UNAMIR in 1993. Despite being vastly underfunded and undermined by bureaucracy, Dallaire struggles against international indifference to stop the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe. The film is a powerful historical account of courage and moral conviction in the face of systemic failure.
