The Constant Gardner

The movie that I chose to watch was The Constant Gardner. It uses International Business between a couple of countries of being a Multinational Corporation. The characters use their principles to succeed in that they are stern in what they believe in on what is wrong and what is right. They have it figured out about why it is bad that they are testing these drugs on the foreign countries but cannot get a high enough up person to do something about it. Even though they knew what they were doing could put them in harms way they still did it anyway. When they had it all figured out they knew just the right way to get the point across with what was wrong about it to the media with her cousin and in the end could be closer to putting a stop to the testing of the drugs on foreign countries.
Some of the issues that they faced were the traveling from country to country and the different ways thing were perceived and treated. Like the girl when they got on the plane and the little girl was not able to go with and it is just the way it is. Another was when she had a black baby and was not aloud to keep it. With this it all depends on the country and how they perceive things. The one thing they seemed to be pretty good at was talking in the different languages from country to country that they traveled.

  1. Isn’t it sad to witness the lack of social responsibility of multinational corporations, and more importantly, the corruption of government officials? And all for money and power… I am not sure that Tessa wanted to keep Wanza’s baby (if this is what you are referring to when you described the ‘black baby’). She was just showing compassion and love for the victims of the deadly vaccines. I agree with you on the fact that there was few communication problems among the main characters portrayed in the movie. However, do you think a language barrier could be a factor relating to the inability of the citizens in Kenya to understand the harmful effects of the vaccines? In addition to lies and lack of education, of course.

  2. Shocking how bribery and other corruption is forcing the citizens to remain in such grinding poverty

  3. Your understanding of the movie seems to be very valid. Did anyone in the movie step up as a leader to make a change and stand up for what they believed in? It seems that morals of the characters was not very ethical.
