When France finally gave independence to Haiti, they did it for a price. After they paid that price, the US occupied them because of their location and many resources. Every year in Haiti’s history as a nation and before has effects on the world today. These effects are not hidden in fine print, but blatantly found within Haiti and those who have been involved with Haiti.

It is home to a variety of plant and animal species found nowhere else in the world and includes a number of significant cultural sites.

The movie Hotel Rwanda was drastically different from most of the movie and television shows that I watch. Primarily the media that I enjoy is focused around the supernatural and science fiction. Although the movie was a change from what I am used to, I found that it was a very good movie and quite enjoyed watching it. I also believe that it very well displayed at least some of the brutality that was occuring during the Rwandan genocide and helped to explain the events that took place. It showed the progression of events after Rwanda gained its independence.
