This was a 90 minute infomercial apparently promoting Nicholas Kristof for the Nobel Prize, or, perhaps the Mother Theresa award for overall saintliness. He came across as a nice guy and I admire his work on behalf of the world's crushed peoples...but this was a bit much.
It amused me that he looked a bit and sounded a lot like Liberace. I know he can't help either but I found myself staring at his wedding ring wondering...
Out of all the well-paid hacks pushing the corporate line at the NY Times Kristof stands out as a notable exception...a principled man genuinely trying to make the world a better place. He deserves credit but this film was mostly an embarrassment. All MTV too.
