A fascinating mystery that at times feels like a documentary. Meirelles is a master at shedding light on the realities of the world we live in but still telling a fictional story. In this one, he shows us the very real ugliness of "health care" in Africa over the last few decades. The imagery is haunting, the investigation is tense, the people feel real. Ralph Fiennes is captivating as he pours out deep emotion through his body language.
I can't say I'd watch it again because it was hard to watch, at times. I have a real problem with corporate/white collar crime. But it was definitely worth watching once.
