El jardinero fiel (2005) o el desarrollo de nuevas medicinas

Abstract

 The film is an adaptation of John Le Carre´s homonymous novel (2001), directed by Fernando Meirelles. It is a particular vision about the medical practice in the so-called Third World countries. There are also some references to the treatment of AIDS and to the studies being undertaken for new treatments of illnesses such as tuberculosis. There is also a critical vision concerning the ethics of the experiments the pharmaceutical firms are undertaking to test the new drugs.
