Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Hollywood P.R.I.M.E., as well an image of Mokoena wearing the uniform during production. Known for his roles in films like World War Z and Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, Mokoena portrayed one of the film's chief antagonists in Augustin Bizimungu, a former general in the Rwandan Armed Forces who trained the soldiers and militiamen responsible for carrying out the Rwandan Genocide. Hotel Rwanda is an historical drama based on the Rwandan Genocide of spring 1994, and focuses on the efforts of hotelier Paul Rusesabagina and his wife Tatiana as they attempt to save the lives of more than a thousand refugees by granting them shelter in the besieged Hotel des Mille Collines.
