Yes, the story is very moving. But let's not confuse this terrible moment in history with what is a pretty bad film ! Roy Dupuis, yet again, shows the limits of his range. Spottiswoode's direction is puzzling: alternating between the story itself and a moment, taking place after the events, when we see Roméo Dallaire in the office of a woman (shrink) narrating a bit of the events in an awkward inner dialog that makes very little sense as far as storytelling is concerned. The movie is clumsily edited, the few special effects are uneven (you'll see when you get to the stadium scene) and it seems to go on forever.
I recommend the superior "Chronicle of a Genocide Foretold" if you want to see a touching, horrifying diary of one of the great failures of humankind.
