The Constant Gardener

A very well made movie with detailed description of the difficulties encountered in Northern Kenya. It was a coincidence that I happen to watch this movie when Bono and Brian Williams made a trip to Ghana and other African countries. Though, this movie was a suspense movie, it uncovered or described the very much exploitation that huge medical companies carry out in the name of testing. This, multiplied (not added) with the corruption in diplomatic levels, increased the woes of Africans. The bigwigs not only look for guinea pigs in the poor African nationals but also control demand and supply of the medicines. One is likely to feel depressed and deranged after watching this movie.
