Honest appraisal of Africa's Problems

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2006)

Now we need a movie that can tell us what to do to HELP Africa. Giving money doesn't help, the Peace Corps didn't help. Despots get the money, the food, the financial incentives we give. BONO doesn't help.
Every penny given in aid means that a corrupt government doesn't have to provide whatever service is given in NGO (non governmental organization) aid.
In this movie at least, Djimon admits that the Africans are their own worst enemy.
The movie is excellent.
The scenery is Africa. The violence is credible. The use of children soldiers (infantry) is true. The slums only lacked surround 'smell' to make them real
SPOILER: Too bad Maddy had to flash cleavage. That would have been an invitation to rape, and is demeaning of her character's ethics.
