I wouldn't pretend that this is the best film/mini series I've ever see but I believe one reviewer was off on the harsh criticism this film was given. The reviewer even mistakenly names an actor that wasn't even in the film but that is not the point. Having seen this film you are transported to another time and into the heart of a struggling nation looking to find it's way. The story and characters are interesting and developed enough to keep one glued to their couch. This may not be art cinema at it's very best but it is none the less an educational and entertaining film that is beautifully and artistically moving.The actors are gifted and the writing while not the best doesn't take away from the overall story. And who can go wrong watching the great Peter O'toole on screen again!
