The most interesting thing about this movie is that I don't know what side to take, really. Campbell seems like a good man, and I wouldn't want a bunch of Mexicans to show up on my doorstep and tell me to get the fuck out; OTOH, the African people have a SERIOUS history of grievances, as their entire continent has been ass-raped by various European powers since Roman times. If one white landowner gets to stay, why not everyone? Can you say "neocolonialism"?
