To understand why it is so difficult and valuable for Paul to rescue 1,268 refugees in an isolated island like Rwanda, one must understand some of the political background of the world at that time.
First, the old Belgian empire’s colonial policy towards Africa directly led to the racial hatred of different ethnic groups in the same country.
Second, after the end of the colonial era, France supported puppet governments or reactionary forces in Africa to maintain the purpose of controlling the economy and obtaining resources. This film clearly stated that the weapons of the tribal militia were funded by France, and for this reason, paul Through the Belgian boss, he found the French government and saved the lives of the hotel refugees.
Third, Audrey Hepburn visited Somalia and issued an appeal: "Who will save this country?" The United States sent troops to intervene in the civil strife in Somalia. The U.S. military was brutally humiliated by anti-government forces (see "Black Hawk Down") and uploaded the video. The Internet, the world is in an uproar.
Fourth, the impact of the failure of the US military. The United Nations and other countries will not use force to intervene in the civil strife of other countries at the same time, causing Rwanda to become an island. Paul is one of the few people who knows that there will be no rescue army.
Usually, we think that people with great love do things to save the nation, grateful but predictable. A long-sleeved good dancer, who has the right and left, only wants to protect his family, but in the end he did not refuse or give up any person who defected to him. This is grateful and unpredictable.
This kind of contrast is human nature.
