We have become increasingly aware of our love for conspiracy theories. We don't love the deception that goes along with them, but we are intrigued by the quest for truth and inspired to question "common sense". We have enjoyed watching "An Inconvenient Truth" followed by "The Great Global Warming Swindle" on YouTube. Then we watched "Who Killed the Electric Car" about how hundreds of EV1's were suddenly and almost silently pulled off the road in California in the early 2000's. If you have any documentaries you think we should watch, please let us know!!
A few weeks ago, we watched "The Constant Gardener". I had heard of this movie but had no idea what to expect. Wow. A British man and woman marry and go to Africa. He works for the government, and she keeps her life to herself, using her husband's position to gain access to "big-wigs" and get to the bottom of secret drug testing on the poorest of the poor in Africa. She dies suddenly and he is left to uncover secrets of her research and whether she had loved him or if it was simply a marriage of convenience.
I want to say so much, but I don't want to give it away. What I will say is that you should watch this movie. I have a place in my heart for Africa after spending 7 weeks at a rural hospital in Zimbabwe in college. Have you seen the movie "Sahara"? In it the "bad guys" talk about the poisoning of innocent people that results from their money making ventures and wonder if anyone will find out. The leader says "This is Africa. Nobody cares about Africa."
This movie was one that kept us thinking for several days afterward. If you are interesting in watching a movie that will pull at your heart and mind, this is the movie for you...
