Anecdotes
The film was released as part of a massive advertising campaign for the Guinness beer brand in Africa, where the lead character, Michael Power (played by Cleveland Mitchell), features in numerous Guinness advertisements. In Africa, such is the popularity of "Michael Power", that many people do not realize that he is a fictional advertising character.

Gaffes
Most of the action in the film takes place in a single fictional African nation, yet in some scenes the traffic bears to the right, while in other scenes the traffic bears to the left.

Ohh boy....

The film looks like a mixture of a religious commercial, an extra sweetened Hallmark drama and a school musical with stage actors suddenly put before a camera, unable to lose the over-acting and portraying sugar sweet characters whom you expect to burst out in a song like "The Kilimanjaro is alive with a sound of music" anytime especially the first 30-50 minutes of the movie.

The shots of Africa are beautiful, but the majority of the people depicted are healthy good-looking people while the film wants to show us that 80% of the inhabitants of that fictional country doesn't have access to clean drinking water and are therefore plagued by all kinds of diseases.

There are some plots and turns in the movie, but if you like the high level of for instance British, or Scandinavian or South Korean film acting then you must have a lot of patience or a degree of masochism to sit this one out.
