The Last King of Scotland

"It's got quite a misleading title (it's explained) and it's a fictional tale with a real life political/historical background. While Forest Whitaker deserves every accolade he received for his role, I'm perplexed why the cover has three images of him on the cover and none of James McAvoy, whose character propels the story. Hm? The film follows young, aimless, Scottish doctor Nicholas Garrigan (..."

"Ok, this movie is based on a true story that is sooo weird I'm not sure what is truth and what is embellishment. However, I do know for a fact that the two lions that this movie is about are stuffed and on view at a museum somewhere in Chicago. Ok, so here it goes. Once upon a time when the African landscape was be ravaged by European industry (via the construction of a huge railroad system) two..."

"See a baby faced Thandie Newton and Nicole Kidman in this film about teen girls and boys in boarding school. Newton's character is a Ugandan student who doesn't fit in and begins dating a British boy from the near by boys academy. The couple's relationship is of course forbidden and they must hide their affections. This is a good teen drama. Perfect for a quiet Sunday afternoon."

Citizen's Espresso Blend (100% Arabica) from Crop to Cup Coffee Company

"Thick, chocolaty and floral with hints of sweet spice. Ideal for espresso machines and will produce a fantastic crema and a mind-blowing cappuccino. To our signature specialty Ugandan bean we've added a Fairtrade and Organic farmers cooperative in the Gayo Highlands of Sumatra. Although blended with espresso in mind, it tastes great in a French press and drip coffee machine as well! Av..."

"This is the ONLY coffee we will drink anymore. We started out trying it because it supports a wonderful, Inter-faith cooperative of coffee farmers in Uganda, but we continue to drink it because it is outrageously delicious. (Every once in awhile we run out, and I try to make some other coffee, and, somehow, my husband just knows instantly that he is being duped!) This coffee is organic, Fair T..."

While he's never been to Africa, she's never been to India. There is racial prejudice from all sides: African-American, Indian, white. Roshan Seth and Indian screen legend Sharmila Tagore play Mina's parent..."

The money these women earn from making these lovely pieces of jewelry allows them to send their children to school, and feed their families. So far, Project Have Hope has sponsored seventy-three children at school, h..."
