When will these end? We get it. You guys need to save black Africans from themselves. You white Gods, we bow to you!

| Interesting. I hadn't heard of it before. As a white person, I see it as a movie about three brave refugees coming here to an entirely new culture. A white woman is just the person that happens to be helping them. |

| Ooh, does it end with adopting an African child? Very 2014!! (I didn't watch but I'm guessing...) |

Same. I'm open to hearing why my view is clouded. |

| It's based on a true story about someone who helped war refugees. Have you read What is the What by Dave Eggars? It's horrific. It's pretty rare that a book provokes a visceral reaction from me, and that book made me sob. Anyone who was willing to help those kids, of any color, is to be commended in my opinion. |

| It does seem to be more about Reese Witherspoon than the refugees. Erin Brokovitch was more about her character than the town people with cancer (or whatever it was). |
