One of my favorite movies...
Added 11/3/2009
I love this movie. It's really sad and could be depressing to some, but I love this movie. Clive Owen perfectly depicts the stressed out, stretched-two-thin, aid worker attitude. This movie shows real depictions of the mess that is refugee camps. They never have enough funds, workers, or food and are constantly stressing to help others. This movie is intense, tense and may be difficult to watch for some but it shows the real hardships of aid workers and the refugees.
The end is sad but most of the movie is too.
However, the sadness is expertly acted and not without reason.
Very good movie.

I loved Beyond Borders and watched it twice in one day. This story about relief aid workers, individuals giving up comfort and security, safety and love to help suffering people around the world puts our Western world priorities in perspective. The love story within the political story is memorable because the lovers were driven by something greater than their own pleasure.

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

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.
