The Constant Gardener is a profoundly moving story of a man ennobled by tragedy, and a magnificent exploration of the dark side of unbridled capitalism by one of the most compelling and elegant storytellers of our time. The plot was based on a real-life case in Kano, Nigeria and was later adapted into the film of the same name directed by Fernando Meirelles and starring Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz.
