After watching this Academy Award winning film, I was quite moved. The scenes of Kenya seemed so real, not like something you would see on a Sally Struthers commercial with distended darky children, but with smiling children — human children, faced with the greatest crisis of our time. Obviously, the film is fiction of the geopolitical spy genre, but it was quite gripping how it brought you as an outsider into the world of the gardener, travelling with him into the seemy world of pharmeceutics, money and power in Africa.
