   Thought this very well done, however it's keeping with my own worldview and thus resonated with me and my knowledge and experience (very limited though it was) with Africa.
   
   I wonder why this isn't better received and wonder if has to do with a misunderstanding of its point. Do people feel it is racist? I would argue it points a finger at English (colonial) racism and challenges all suppositions related to colonialism and 'giving' Africans education, culture, and civilization.
   
   Recommended - maybe not so much because it's a great example of cinema or acting or writing but because it offers a view into a very different world. I'm just not sure people schooled in "we're all just the same" can appreciate the message. It's all about diversity, understanding diversity, respecting diversity, living with diversity. A perfect film to use to lead or develop a group discussion related to these issues - especially on an international scale. 8 years 5 months ago
