Having studied Rwanda a fair bit, I’m quite familiar with the 1993-95 case of the genocide and I always felt this was ripe for the silver screen but I didn’t expect it to take so long. So with Eastwood’s INVICTUS, and although DEVIL was made in 2007, this makes two African films based on true stories. The film is based on UN General Dallaire’s book of the same name which I believe refers to when he went to meet with Prime Minister Kambanda and noticed blood on his cuff and it struck him that he was “shaking hands with the devil himself.”
