Movie Haiku:What begins as a light, tourist trip to Beautiful Tanzania(Dar es Salaam! Mount Kilimanjaro!) turns more serious when a sunny American follows her African friend home & discovers the realities of poverty & disease in his ancestral village. Caminer jumps right in, so what we learn about Kristen & Ven is "on the go," but by the end this doc has definitely earned kudos. NOT YET SEEN BY RICH.
