I loved this movie and having been in Sudan during the civil war, I can tell you that the director here did his homework. It was definitely that harsh and awful and anyone who thinks it was just propaganda, go see for yourself; some of it is still happening! Reese was good in it, but the whole show was the Sudanese actors who did a fabulous job of acting and brought so much of it to life. It brought me back to Africa where I lived for over 3 years, seeing the good, the bad and the ugly of the place, but I always appreciated the genuine loyalty, pride and love for one's family and country. I found nothing superficial with the folks I lived among and with...it was always heartfelt. I remember them warmly to this day and was so excited to be transported back for a bit. Oscar please!
