Trying to categorize the best movies of all time according to genre can be a nuisance. Each year comes with its own movie which always seems to be better than the previous year. However, in spite being released several years ago, there are those movies that captured the imagination of the world and moved millions to tears. Most of these often tend to revolve around true stories that shaped the lives of millions.
Herein I will look at some of the movies that turned the attention of the world to Africa. Thanks to these films, the heroes of these videos can rest in peace that the world got to know what was happening in the land.
Tears of the Sun
Tears of the sun, is one hell of a movie that will get you wondering how beastly some leaders can be. In a bid to keep power to them and ensure that their enemies are vanquished, they will not care how many lives are lost in the process. The story revolves around an American soldier who is sent to evacuate a missionary group deep in the heart on Nigeria. Sticking to their mission and refusing to rescue hundreds of others who when caught by the army will definitely be slaughtered, they take the woman only to return for the others after flying across her former mission and seeing the blood trail left behind. This is a true story of an American soldier who went against orders to see hundreds of lives saved. Tears of the Sun is one movie that will never bore you no matter the number of times that you have watched it.
Sometimes In April
We all remember what happened in Rwanda, a genocide that the world has never seen and wishes not see again. Sometimes in April is a movie that tells the story of a Hutu married to a Tutsi. When the Hutu turns against the Tutsi, he is forced to choose between his family and the army. After realizing that his name and that of his family is on the list, he entrust his family to the care of his Hutu brother who runs a radio station spreading hate speech. Later on, the family dies. What happens thereafter and how he gets to meet the brother in Arusha, is for you to find out.
Hotel Rwanda
The setting is the same, i.e. Genocide in Rwanda. One Hutu man goes against all odds to try and save thousands of lives in the hotel he works.
