This movie made for Tv industry could have never been shown on big screen. This feature is not about the glory of the French government, but instead the french military forces who did their very best for the sake of the poor African populations. I am not proud to be French when I watch such a film, but proud of the French soldiers, yes, yes, yes, those brave men who risk their lives not only for the huge multi billions dollars gas, oil or all kinds of mining companies, but also for the populations. Painful to watch and so poignant, pulled by a brilliant characterization.

Warning: Spoilers
Operation Turquoise and the French did nothing but enable Hutu's who were hellbent on killing to continue killing their fellow countrymen. They were not there to stop the genocide, but rather just further their politcal aims at preserving the Francophone world through the Hutu government. Furthermore when looking at the French outpost at Murambi they are anything but 'helping' the Rwandan people. At Murambi the French assisted in digging mass graves to hold the nearly 50,000 people slaughtered there days before. What did they do when the finished digging the graves? They built volleyball courts on top of them and gang-raped Tutsi women in nearby buildings not more than 50 feet from mass graves of their family and neighbors. But it doesn't end there, the French also assisted in helping thousands of genocidaires escape to Zaire which would later on trickle into causing the wars we see today in the Congo.
Long story short, and not surprisingly, this is not seen in this production.
