Shake Hands with the Devil is the story of a Canadian commander torn between his duty and his conscience when he finds himself witness to a genocide. In 1993, the United Nations dispatched Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire to Rwanda to oversee a fragile ceasefire. When he arrived in the tiny African country, Dallaire found that the peace agreement between the rebels, led by the minority Tutsi, and a government dominated by the Hutu majority, rested on shaky ground. Just months after he raised the UN flag, an unknown group shot down the president's plane, igniting a secret but long-planned genocidal campaign against the Tutsis as well as moderate Hutus. So began a long night of terror in Kigali. Roger Spottiswoode's (Tomorrow Never Dies, Under Fire) stirring dramatic retelling of these events—based on Dallaire's award-winning book of the same name— was shot in Kigali, Rwanda, and Halifax, Nova Scotia. It stars Roy Dupuis (The Barbarian Invasions, Emotional Arithmetic) as a man struggling to find the right path through hell on earth.
