What happens
Shake Hands with the Devil is a 2007 Canadian biographical war drama film starring Roy Dupuis as Roméo Dallaire, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in August 2007. Based on Dallaire's autobiographical book Shake Hands with the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda, the film recounts Dallaire's harrowing personal journey during the 1994 Rwandan genocide and how the United Nations did not heed Dallaire's urgent pleas for further assistance to halt the massacre. The film received 12 nominations at the 28th Genie Awards and tied with the film Eastern Promises for most nominations. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
