Gripping Drama, Fuzzy Politics

Kidman and Penn elevate UN thriller

April 21, 2005

Nicole Kidman plays Silvia Broom, a South African UN interpreter who overhears a plot to assassinate Dr. Zuwanie (Earl Cameron) the visiting genocidal leader of her native war-pocked country Matobo (a fictional region).
