The Girl in the Café (2005 TV Movie)
6/10
A love story with a humanitarian agenda
28 June 2005
The script was written as a BBC TV film to be broadcast the month before the G8 Summit at Gleneagles in July 2005, and was meant to highlight the plight of millions in the third world who die in their thousands because of lack of food, vacillation by western countries and politicians. It was not Marxist... as one American reviewer has said, but a sober reflection on man's inhumanity to man.... especially when money and trade barriers are in place.

As the tag line intimates... it's a small beginning, but it is a start... and in the UK at present there is a big advertising campaign regarding one child dying from starvation in Africa ever three seconds! Rich countries should take note.
