Reviews
A Japanese movie about volunteer doctors in Kenya sent from Japan teaching hospital, after reaching Kenya he encounters a lot of desperate situations that lead him to stay there and not what to go back to Japan, the movie shows you how real doctors act once they have to choose between helping their patients or making big money back in their country.
The movie is shot in Kenya for few months, it's so genuine and inspirational.
A Japanese classic that makes you think, what the hell am I doing with my life.
Ishihara was so pretty as a nurse and she as always has her perfect English I was in love.
The movie covers how war is done in Kenya with a lot of scary guerilla tactics and using children as human shields and the struggle of doctors that go to help.
The main lead encountered a boy who was a soldier and this changed his fate in life.
Highly recommended
Shampoo gives easy 10 for this
Movie quotes:
"Do we need law at this moment? The hell with the law"
"How cruel humans can be"
"They are using the children as mine sweepers throwing them in front of the soldiers so land mines would trigger"
"Not everyone can find happiness"

Heart Warming! A must watch…
Born and Raised in Kenya, this was a beautiful directed story… Truly heart warming to see the work done by volunteer doctors and the compassion in their work that truly changes lives.The children formed a special bond and became family.. It was nice to see them smile even though the future seemed bleak … Takao Osawa is an amazing actor and him and all the cast and crew delivered !.. very well done! Highly recommend this movie and much respect to all volunteers who travel around the world to work in such extreme conditions..
