'Hotel Rwanda' man to speak

Published: Wednesday, March 7 2007 12:01 a.m. MST

Paul Rusesabagina, the man whose life story prompted the film "Hotel Rwanda," will speak tonight in Bountiful at the South Branch Library, 725 S. Main.

Rusesabagina will be talking about a biography he wrote titled "An Ordinary Man," which was the basis for the film. The biography details how he, as a hotel manager, helped save hundreds of Rwandans who were targeted during an attack in 1994.

Rusesabagina's speech will begin at 7 p.m. Afterward, those in attendance are invited to ask questions. Tickets to the event were distributed on Saturday, but stand-by tickets may be available tonight at the event.
