Shooting Dogs**
GB/Ger 2005. BBC Films/Invicta Capital/Filmstiftung NRW. 111m. ws
Rwanda, April 1994: a Catholic priest and a visiting student witness the horror of the genocide of the Tutsi minority, and the inability of the UN peacekeepers to do anything about it.
Powerful, sometimes heavy-handed (in some of its politics), but very well acted observation of mass murder from an outsider's perspective (similar in some ways to The Killing Fields) which gets across the horror of the event without becoming too overbearing.
Written by: David Wolstencroft.
Producers: David Elton, Pippa Cross, Jens Meurer.
Director: Michael Caton-Jones.
Starring: Hugh Dancy, John Hurt, Clare Hope-Ashitey, Dominique Horowitz, Nicola Walker, Louis Mahoney, Steve Toussaint, David Gyasi.
Photography: Ivan Strasburg.
Music: Dario Marianelli.
+ several of the crew were Tutsi survivors of the genocide
