It’s always interesting to a foreign perspective on an issue making headlines here in the United States. Bullying in school has been a topic of discussion here very recently in the wake of several suicides of children who were taunted over sexual orientation. I wonder if schools in Denmark have the same problems? The winner of the 2011 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language film, In A Better World answers that question. It also tackles the problems of war lords in impoverished African countries. This film attempts to connect several forms of bullying.
The film begins in Africa where Anton works as a traveling physician to several villages. Complicating his duties is a local warlord who cuts open the bellies of pregnant women in order to find out the gender of their babies. Anton is barely able to save the life of a young woman who is rushed into his make shift clinic.
