Indie Film Fernie at the Vogue Theatre, 321 2nd Ave.

Based on Dallaire’s memoirs by the same name, Shake Hands With The Devil is a riveting character study as well as a crucial rendering of Canada’s recent political history. In his most memorable role to date, Quebec superstar Roy Dupuis delivers an almost transcendent performance, portraying the beleaguered Dallaire with great economy of expression. Canada’s involvement in the ill-fated UN peacekeeping mission in Rwanda is one of this country’s most documented legacies; the opportunity to witness it through the lens of dramatic reconstruction should not to be missed.
