KIGALI, Rwanda, April 5 (UPI) -- Some 10,000 people packed into the stadium in Kigali, Rwanda, Tuesday for the premier of the Oscar-nominated movie "Hotel Rwanda"
The movie revolves around the true story of hotel owner Paul Rusesabagina's attempts to shelter refugees and rally help during the 1994 genocide that may have killed as many as 800,000 people, the BBC reported.
Rusesabagina, played by Don Cheadle, missed the screening Monday due to illness, however there has been speculation he did not attend because he recently claimed genocide was still occurring in the African nation.
"It was really important to come back here and show the movie to people in Kigali to let them see that the world is starting to get a message of what took place in 1994," said Irish director Terry George. "We are trying to see how we can use the emotion generated by the film to help the people of Rwanda, most especially the survivors."
