I was aghast at the level of access this female had with everyone in this film. They should make a film about her techniques and her low key style. I was shocked, impressed, and saddened.
I guess the relatives of the Rhodes family still have that unique gene to F Africa. After watching "Blood Diamond" and comprehending the "partnership" with first world powers, how could one be that surprised with the events portrayed.
"I don't care if I shoot myself in the foot, I get paid!" Well, I guess we're supposed to believe that is the long and short of the tale but I somehow doubt it. Manipulating a country with savage methods to destabilize happens everywhere and believing this is endemic to Africa is misleading at best.
I watched all those Kayactivists in Seattle to protest the Shell Artic Drilling project and thought why is not one person addressing this issue? The poverty is abject, the ignorance abundant, the evil menacing.
I am confused at the USA's proclamation of being the number one exporter of natural gas vs light crude oil. So we will become dependent on Africa now? Perhaps the Bakken Fields of North Dakota were not exploited enough to date for this documentary to hash the list.
High recommend for folks who have no clue what is going on in Nigeria and Ghana, and the status of Oil and Gas exploration costs and strategies, and well, the cruel greed lopsided exposure of simple peasants.
