Hotel Rwanda is #224 on IMDB's Top 250 Movies as of June 2025 (the number may differ based on when you listen). In this episode, we unpack Don Cheadle’s powerful, Oscar-nominated performance, the film’s emotional restraint, and its portrayal of international indifference. Does the film’s message still resonate today? And should it be more widely recognized as one of the 21st century’s most essential historical dramas? All this and so much more!
