The Constant Gardener
A beautiful movie, supported by the British High Commission of Kenya, based on a novel by John le Carré. Background: Human testing of beta pharmaceutical drugs in Africa.
Staring Ralph Fiennes. Tagline: Love. At any cost.
John le Carré authored another of my favourite: The Tailor of Panama.

It is an excellent movie. Shows how low big time Companies go to promote their interests. It must be actually happening in many countries at the moment. For instance, the Company that promotes the drink 'Ribena' in New Zealand is under investigation for the amount of Vitamin C content in the drink - seems it is not as much as the Co. claims.But...they always get away with it!

John le Carre is one of my favorite authors. I have a complete collection of his books. Looking forward to watch Constant Gardener. So far Little Drummer Girl is still my favorite.
