Oh. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

I was at the Genocide memorial and museum in Kigali a week and a half ago. His name never appears once and I don't remember seeing the hotel's name either.

That should give you a good idea of who he is.

That wouldn’t necessarily say anything, considering the Rwandan government doesn’t like him whatsoever.

I attended a talk he gave here (15?) Or so years ago. He went over the movie events, admitted to how much of it was fiction (a substantial amount) , also gave more details into some of the events as well from his perspective.

I did find it very informative, and a lot more humble than I expected. However when he finished with a question/answers period there were some Rwandans in the audience who were present for the genocide who had a lot of questions for him. He refused to answer any of them and walked out.
