The Hutu people made up eighty five percent of the population‚ the Tutsi made up fourteen‚ and the very small group Twa made up the very little amount of one percent.

In the movie Hotel Rwanda‚ the Hutu Tribe started a civil war with each other. The Hutu Tribe disliked the Tutsi Tribe because they felt as though they arrogant.

The movie shows how Hutu extremists mass murdered the Tutsi population and how one Hutu named Paul Rusesabagina‚ a hotel manager‚ helped save the lives of his friends and family and over one thousand refugees.
