When I saw it more than half the audience walked out. There was even a couple that walked out just before the credits started rolling (for those who haven't seen it, it's almost three hours long). Excellent film.

I went to Uganda three years ago and I was amazed at their amiability and apparent happiness, especially considering their situation. I was greeted with smiles everywhere I went. I'm from Iceland and in comparison Icelanders are very cold.
