touching

I've seen this movie twice and I absolutely love it! I think it's highly underrated with the average of 6.4 from the imdb voters.

This is a movie about black and white. A welknown theme in Hollywood, but I've never seen a movie which deals with this subject so excellent as this one.

I couldn't help crying at the end.

Quotes
Rev Stephen Kumalo: My brother is greatly changed.
Theophilus Msimangu: But he has some truth on his side.
Rev Stephen Kumalo: "Truth"? But how can he have truth on his side and not God?
Theophilus Msimangu: At least he's got something. Look around. What do you see? Poverty, pain, suffering. Sometimes it is hard even for me to keep faith. Perhaps God is also on his side. Only your brother does not want to know it anymore.
