LOVE AND WAR 'NOWHERE IN AFRICA' - Movie Review
By MEGAN BLANCHARD, assistant editor

This Academy Award Winner for Best Foreign Film is well-deserving of its title. Nowhere in Africa, by German filmmaker Caroline Link, is a beautifully rendered portrait of the Kenyan landscape and its people. From the arid landscape of a summer drought to the panoramic summer deluge on the African plains, the cinematography in Nowhere In Africa is breathtaking. Although the setting of the film might be reminiscent of an especially enticing Discovery Channel special, deep human struggles are at the heart of this film.
