this movie was fairly good, i watched it in my Africa through film class and it didn't completely suck but it was very over dramatic. It has way to many Disney characteristics to be a very good movie. Unlike the guys comment above this, if you put more famous actors in it, no matter how many it still wouldn't win an Oscar, but it was fairly descent showing the ugly side of humanity, but they still portrayed the Africans as being somewhat helpless. Although they wanted to help themselves and they wanted to learn to read and write English, it still portrayed them as being to weak to do it alone so they need the whites to do it not many movies about Africa portray they whites as weak but they all seem to show the blacks as somewhat inferior. I really think they need to work on fixing that. However if you are looking for a good film about based in Africa get the movie Somewhere In Africa. Its a foreign film with subtitles. Its a true story about a Jewish family who leaves Germany in about 1937 because they feel something bad is going to happen soon. It is based around the daughter and how she adapts to Africa and how here parents begin to separate emotionally (and physically) its a very good movie i recommend that any day above the power of one, but if you really wanna see The Power Of One, its not worth not seeing.
