Movie: Tears of Sun
In this movie there is a civil war in Nigeria. The Moslems successfully overthrow the government and go around the country killing and raping Christian civilians. Bruce Willis leads a US Special Forces team charged with evacuating a small number of foreign nationals from Nigeria before the rebels get to them. The people he is to evacuate are taking care of wounded victims of the Muslim troops. The US Special Forces leave behind all of these people initially. But as they fly to safety in their helicopters, they see from above what happened to those left behind at a mission. The copters are then turned around, and Willis and his team attempt to save a remnant from the mission that fled it before the Muslim forces arrived there. All in all, a very good movie--although there are graphic and disturbing scenes of what is done to those Christians unlucky enough to fall into the hands of the Muslim troops. I have read media reports of things I saw happen in this movie. It's truly disturbing to know that those things do not just happen in the movies.
