Shake Hands with the Devil

The documentary based on Romeo Dallaire's memoir on his experience as an often helpless UN Peacekeeping General during the Rwandan genocide is playing at SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival) this year, on May 23rd at 7:00 PM (they shouldn't schedule important human rights films at the same time as important human rights classes!) and Wednesday, May 25th at 2:00 PM. I doubt many of you can make these times, but I do expect a theatrical release at some point this summer.

I'll be driving in to see the film on Wednesday, around 12:30 for the 2pm showing. I expect to be back in town around 4 (it's only 50 minutes long) for a 4:15 class. If anyone wants a ride, let me know. I'll be returning to the campus after the film.

Glad you can go! Also good news--weekday daytime SIFF films are only $5 (most SIFF films are 10).
