Who was the movie Hotel Rwanda actually based off of?

The movie "Hotel Rwanda" was based on the real-life experiences of Paul Rusesabagina, a Rwandan hotel manager who saved the lives of over a thousand Tutsi refugees during the Rwandan Genocide in 1994. Rusesabagina was the manager of the Hôtel des Mille Collines in Kigali, Rwanda, and he used his position and influence to protect the refugees from the Hutu militias who were carrying out the genocide. He negotiated with the militias, bribed them, and even threatened them to keep the refugees safe. Rusesabagina's story was first told in the book "Hotel Rwanda: A Memoir of Courage, Resilience, and Triumph," which was written by Roméo Dallaire and Robert Lemarchand and published in 2005. The movie "Hotel Rwanda," directed by Terry George and starring Don Cheadle, was released in 2004 and brought Rusesabagina's story to a wider audience. Rusesabagina was widely recognized for his heroism and received numerous awards and accolades, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom from the United States government in 2005.
