I blame the Romeo Dallaire question on TTN, because I picked that film, too. Oddly, there are two different films called "Shake Hands with the Devil." The first was a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shake_Hands_With_the_Devil:_The_Journey_of_Rom%C3%A9o_Dallaire" rel="nofollow">2004 documentary</a>. The second, and the one available on the plane, was the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shake_Hands_with_the_Devil_%282007_film%29" rel="nofollow">2007 drama</a>. There are at least two or three more films (Hotel Rwanda, another doc or two) on the subject as well. Dallaire famously doesn't have much to say about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rom%C3%A9o_Dallaire#In_the_Media" rel="nofollow">Hotel Rwanda</a>; he was fictionalized as a character played by Nick Nolte. Saskboy: honestly, you didn't miss much. The last fifteen minutes don't transform the story substantially. What, did we all get lured by the siren of an extremely depressing in-flight movie?
