I enjoyed this film immensely.
Set during the lead-up and during WWII, this film follows the lives of a Jewish family blessed with the prescience to emigrate from Hitler’s Germany to the then British colony of Kenya. Fantastic landscapes, brilliant authenticity and rich in character development, this is one of the best films set in Africa I have seen.
Such accurate portrayals of life in Africa always re-ignite my inner desire to someday return and experience anew the daily cultural saturation that took place for me.
Labda nitarudi siku tena. Maybe i will return someday.
I whole heartedly recommend renting this DVD.
Rob lives and works in the town of Jackson, MS where he leads the interactive department at an awesome advertising and branding agency. Life is slower than most places in Mississippi, and Rob tends to like it that way. Some of his favorite life experiences include sailing across the Atlantic Ocean in a 44ft sloop, learning to speak Swahili while living along the lower slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and zipping along the curviest of Mississippi country roads in his VW Rabbit.
