TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The ribbon bars of Dallaire's medals worn by Roy Dupuis in this film are the actual ones worn by Roméo Dallaire during the time period depicted in this film. They were loaned to Dupuis by Dallaire during for the film's production.

Filming actually took place on location in Kigali which is considered to be the catalyst of the Genocide. A plane carrying Rwandan President Juvénal Habyarimana, and Cyprien Ntaryamira, the Hutu president of Burundi, was shot down as it prepared to land in Kigali. The Gikondo massacre, which also took place in Kigali.

Roy Dupuis collaborated significantly with Roméo Dallaire while researching this film and the two became friends.

Although Roy Dupuis bears an extremely similar physical resemblance to Roméo Dallaire, General Dallaire is depicted by Dupuis in the movie as speaking perfect English in an ordinary Canadian accent. In real life, Dallaire speaks English with a very heavy Québécois accent.

This is a dramatized version of some of the real life events that led [Ret.] Lt. General Roméo Dallaire to write a book about his experiences as a command of the United Nations mission during the Rwanda 1994 genocide, previously depicted in the documentary Shake Hands with the Devil: The Journey of Roméo Dallaire (2004).
