In the movie "Hotel Rwanda," the American journalist who captures the genocide is based on the real-life journalist Terry George. He was portrayed as a composite character named Jack Daglish, played by Joaquin Phoenix.

The journalist who interviews General Bizimungu and refuses to leave the hotel when it is unsafe is based on the real-life journalist Paul Rusesabagina. In the movie, however, he is depicted as the hotel's manager rather than a journalist. Paul Rusesabagina is portrayed by Don Cheadle and is the central character of the film.
