An aptly named movie. Dry in every sense of the word. I tried to watch this today and by the time I reached the 12th minute, I decided life's too short to waste it watching actors who wouldn't even make the cut if they auditioned for a pornographic film. That's how bad the acting was. Downright atrocious. Especially from the non-Africans who were consistently monotonous in their delivery. Other than the affected accent, Stephanie's acting was decent. As for the story, I didn't have the patience to see it unravel, what with all the numerous nonactors clowning about onscreen. Frankly, I gave up at the point where a woman was supposedly 'beating' a boy's legs in admonition. It was beyond insulting to see how there was clearly no contact; how had there been, such contact wouldn't even have the slightest impact on an infant since the woman was merely flicking her wrist; and how there was no attempt to disguise this silliness. Being a tribute to a real life hero, this movie certainly deserved better.
PS: The labour room scene made me cringe with how bad it was.
2 stars for the doctor about whom this film was made.
