Le Grand Blanc de Lambaréné
The Great White of Lambarene Synopsis
Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965), the mission doctor, theologian and philosopher who founded a hospital in the rainforests of Gabon, achieved sainthood in his lifetime, at least in the popular imagination. The critical assessment of his life and works in recent years, however, has been slightly more ambivalent. Ba Kobhio Bassek is the first director to examine this medical missionary from a purely African point-of-view.
The Great White of Lambarene (1995) is a drama and history film directed by Bassek Ba Kobhio, released on April 26, 1995 with a runtime of 1h 34m. It stars André Wilms, Marisa Berenson, Alex Descas and Élisabeth Bourgine. Viewers rate it 5.3 out of 10 across 9 ratings.
