Do not be swayed by popular opinion


When oh when will people understand that if "evil" corporations didn't DO business then there would be NO AID in africa!!!!

This film is only going to have a further effect in decreasing rational debate about solutions for the problems in Africa. I'm sure it has generated yet another generation of "The cruel developed world is killing Africa" bleeding heart activists.

This is one of the most one-sided unbelievable pro-aid Africa fairy-tales ever told. It is mind numbingly badly filmed. The camera jerks about all over the screen like they got a child to do it. The actors are mawkish and horrible. the very idea that a woman like Rachel Weisz's character would get with Ralph Feinnes character is pathetically unrealistic. I would not watch this film again if someone paid me.

Do yourself a favour and read a textbook. Don't waste time on this drivel.

Its a film, adapted from a novel not a documentary although there are grains of truths in it.
