| Summary |
Joe Connor (Hugh Dancy) has come to teach in Rwanda because he believes he can make a diference. When the school becomes a haven for thousands of Rwandans fleeing the escalating violence, Joe promises his brightest pupil Maria (Clare-Hope Ashitey), that the UN soldiers will protect her from the hordes of extremist militia baying for blood outside the school. But when the UN abandons the refugees, Joe and the school's headmaster, Father Christopher (John Hurt), face an agonizing dilemma: should they leave or should they stand firm with the Rwandans? |
