I checked this out shortly after its release (and many people telling me I HAD to see it) and I was not disappointed. Even the special features (the interview with the real-life protagonist) were amazing in their honesty.

I love Nick Nolte's drunken confession of how the West views Africans. And he WAS a Canadian and U.N. Badass (something rare in Cinema).

As someone who has seen his share of Third World Reality, this movie should have swept the drama categories. Hollywood loves addiction and moral hand-wringing and chicks crying over genuinely powerful tales anyday.

The more this is talked up, the better.
