Paul Rusesabagina


 

Paul Rusesabagina (born June 15,1954 in Murama-Gitarama, Rwanda) was the assistant manager of the Hotel des Mille Collines, and later the manager of the Hôtel des Diplomates, both in Kigali, Rwanda. During the 1994 Rwandan genocide, Rusesabagina used his influence and connections as temporary manager of the Mille Collines to shelter over 1,200 Tutsis and moderate Hutus from being slaughtered by the Interahamwe militia.

Legacy

His work is dramatized in the 2004 movie Hotel Rwanda, in which he is played by Don Cheadle.
