With an inspiring message that spans across time and through generations, Hotel Rwanda is the type of movie that promotes change. Instead of historically telling the story of Rwanda, George takes a chance in recounting the life of a local hero, Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle), and the risks he took to save the lives of many. Hotel Rwanda starts where the tragedy begins.

The U.S. Treasury Department has redesigned paper money for the first time in fifty-seven years. The new bills now have a polyester stripe and tiny letters saying “United States of America” around the portrait on each bill. The reason for the change is that the Treasury Dept. fears that new, sophisticated color copy machines could produce counterfeit bills that could pass for real bills. Copy machines cannot pick up the polyester stripe because it will not reflect light. The tiny letters around the portrait cannot reflect light either, so these new bills will not be easy to counterfeit.
