The film Shake Hands with the Devil: The Journey of Roméo Dallaire is indeed very much the personal journey of Canadian Lt. General Roméo Dallaire. In 1994, 800,000 Rwandan men, women and children, mostly Tutsis, were brutally murdered by vengeful Hutus in a chaotic 100 days of civil war and genocide. Dallaire was the UN Force Commander in Rwanda during that time. Since then, he has been haunted by those events and by what he views as his own, and humanity’s, failure to stop the killings. The personal toil has been enormous and very public – suicide attempts, depression, alcohol abuse, and the almost unbearable haunting recollections that occur with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
