Paul was a very genuine given person in the movie.He tried to help as much as possible to even letting his wife and children go to a better place while he stayed behind protecting his people in the place probably described as hell in the moment.. The UN Colonel,a rank in a military,refused to help anyone because they were never ordered to in the first place. Pauls expectations to the Westerns responses were very low he knew from the beginning that they were just gonna “see this and their gonna be like wow and then eat dinner “ just acting like nothing was practically going on in Rwanda.The Westerns wouldn’t even have helped just feel sympathetic for them. Many of the UN peace keepers

I felt sympathy for the characters in the movie especially Mrs. Trenton for almost losing her son. I felt helplessness for the ones that were killed by Cujo. They had no chance to protect themselves before he attacked and killed them. The Chamber’s had the choice to do what was right and protect their dog by having him have all his shots up to date especially rabies shot. I did not crave horror movies after watching this movie, but knew this could happen in real life.

He trusts the UN organization and trusts American and British forces. However he loses hope when he realizes international forces are there to save foreign citizens and diplomats but not Hutus or Tutsis. The rest of the world strangely ignored the massacre even though the Rwanda government asked other countries for help or military support.

Several western governments especially the Belgian, French and US governments aided in the cover-up.
This is a man of great courage and the viewer immediately sees him as the hero of the movie. We can almost compare him to Schindler and his involvement during World War II. When a civil war finally erupts in Rwanda, Paul is able to use his influence and get all of his people to safety by placing them in his hotel and protecting them, believing that a UN convoy will be quickly deployed for their safety. However, we learn that UN Peacekeepers are not allowed to engage in the action and genocide that is taking place right before their eyes. As more refugees start to enter the hotel, due to lack of space at the United Nations camp, Paul is again forced to make a hard decision.
As the Hutu people begins the genocide European guest and staff are flown out of the country and leave behind the Tutsi people. Paul is left in charge to take care of the people and tries his best by any means necessary to help the Tutsi people by bribing the army for protection until he runs out of supplies and the general decides that he will no longer protect Paul and the other tutus refugees the UN army on the other hand tries to help Paul and the others but with the first attempt of getting out of Rwanda their plan doesn’t go so well because of the Hutu ‘s begin to search each truck and finds the tutus refugees and they were forced to turn back around . Finally the UN Convoy comes up with another plan were they can get Paul and the other refugees on the other side of the line were the rebels are there to protect them at this camp and later are put on a bus were they leave out of Rwanda into different other places in Africa. In the film many of the Hutu people looked at Paul as a traitor because of trying to kill the Tutsi people instead he was trying to save as many people as he possibly
