My favorite African film

"The Ghost and The Darkness" based on a true story of 1890's it gives me the goosebumps with its hair raising scenes. Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas did full justice to their roles. The background score is haunting. This is the second African film in my Favourite Films Library Collection after "Out of Africa" which is mesmerizing. The films music score is the jewel in the crown.

Serengeti shall not die

This movie done by a famous zoologist from Germany. He made this film and his son was killed while making this film. It shows some of the greatest natonal parks on eath, its wildlife and the Masai tribesman who live around the park.

One of my fav movies

I think that shooting dogs starring John Hurt and Hugh Dancy has to be mentioned. It is about the Rwandan genocide and as my teacher once said it makes hotel Rwanda look like the Disney version of what happened. It really is an excellent movie.
