Anecdotes
The character of Martha is based on Jo Yirrell, a British woman who became a special ambassador for Malaria No More UK after her 20-year-old son Harry died of malaria in 2005 while volunteering in Ghana. The character of Mary is fictional.

Gaffes
In the local restaurant scene, the waitress speaks Spanish while serving Mary and her son, but Mozambique's official language is Portuguese.

Mary's Father: Well, you can't deny it's an interesting area.
Mary: It's an interesting area?
Mary's Father: Yeah, I've been looking into it. Did you know that if you take every single person killed in a terrorist attack around the world in the last 20 years, and you add to that every life lost in the Middle East since 1967, the 6-Day War, and you add to this every single American life lost in Vietnam and Korea, and every single American engagement since then--Iraq, Afghanistan, if you take all those lives, and you multiply it by two? That's the number of children who died of malaria every single year.

Totally inspiring, heartbreaking and brilliant.

I watched this last night and am still thinking about it right now, all the time. The movie is to raise awareness of malaria, which kills children by the dozen each year. The film is extremely touching. It presents a strong mother-son bond for both Mary and George, and Martha and Ben. When tragedy strikes, it is presented in such a way only someone with a heart of stone would not be moved. The acting is of a high-quality -- you can feel exactly what the characters are feeling. Mary's speech towards the end is touching and moving; it gave me goosebumps and produced fresh tears in my eyes. Overall a brilliant film, I would definitely watch it again.
