Product Description WHILE ATTENDING A FUNDRAISING GALA, SARAH, A NAIVE, MARRIED AMERICAN SOCIALITE LIVING IN ENGLAND, WITNESSES A FIERY PLEA DELIVERED BY DR NICK CALLAHAN. HIS PLEA MADE ON BEHALF OG IMPOVERISHED AFRICAN CHILDREN UNDER HIS CARE, TURNS HER LIFE UPSIDE DOWN. SHE ABANDONS HER LIFE TO WORK ALONGSIDE HIM.
Amazon.com Romantic adventure, marital crisis, and the tragedy of global hunger are combined with mixed but respectable results in Beyond Borders, starring Angelina Jolie in a role that reflects her off-screen efforts as a United Nations goodwill ambassador. Jolie plays a naive American socialite, unhappily married and living in London, whose life is revolutionized when a passionate doctor (Clive Owen, replacing original costar Kevin Costner) draws her into the cause of humanitarian aid in the world's most dangerous political hot-spots including Ethiopia, Cambodia (where Jolie adopted her first child), and Chechnya in the 1980s and '90s. Directed by Martin (Goldeneye) Campbell, who replaced Oliver Stone during troubled pre-production, this well-meaning film suffers from schizophrenic priorities: Is it a globetrotting love story? An impassioned political expose? Powerful scenes and fine performances can't entirely offset the film's identity crisis, and the ending strives for a quality of martyrdom that it doesn't really earn. --Jeff Shannon

Much needed exposure to this subject! January 27, 2009 Diane L. Edenfield (California, USA) I LOVED this movie! But then I always wanted to be a relief worker (until I grew up and didn't want to die). I know, it sounds crazy. They risk everything to help people less fortunate than themselves. I have much more respect for Angelina Jolie now. This movie is not for people who love fairytale's.
Unavailable after ordering January 19, 2009 Barbara L. Gilbreath (Ashburn VA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I ordered this item and then afterwards was told that it was not available from that seller. So I re-ordered from another seller - that is why you see two of the same. I hope that I was reimbursed for the first order as I never received. Barbara Gilbreath

The movie arrived promptly and in excellent condition.I was unaware that there would be no cover for it, that was a bit disappointing.
another way of love story May 27, 2008 Wafa E. Alfaris (Kuwait) No measure of how the humen being when fall 4 a reason to live by & be belonged to other.
Great Movie! May 18, 2008 BJ (East Peoria, IL United States) This movie never got that much attention. It stars Angelina Jolie and Clive Owen before he got famous! The story is absolutely moving and real, these things happen people, every day, all over the globe. One of the few movies that I own and I own way too many, that I have watched over and over! Great film, amazing acting!
