Four stars and an exclamation point! Yes, the film "Nowhere in Africa" is terrific. It's a German film with lots of Swahili and, of course, English subtitles. The story is about a husband, wife, and little daughter who flee Nazi Germany just in time - landing in British Kenya. The husband was a lawyer in Germany, but is now a hired farm manager (who knows nothing about farming.) The wife was used to fine shopping and elegant entertaining. Now she's dealing with dust, insects, and a people and way of life she doesn't understand at all. The daughter loves Kenya from the start. The story is about whether or not the family can survive the drastic changes. I won't tell you how it goes - just recommend that you see the film for sure.
