- Based on real events and filmed on location in Rwanda. The powerful story of three Europeans caught in the African genocide: Father Christopher's catholic school becomes a less-than-safe haven for hundreds of Tutsi refugees. He and his young teaching companion Joe are quite unprepared for the terror engulfing them. In the midst of the crisis, the Belgian UN Colonel stationed at the school, is ordered to look the other way.
