Then main thing in the movie is that of determination to succeed despite low education level and poverty. Language is something else.

and the boy is already engaged/married to a black American and settled and work in Califonia, US. As a Malawian Government if you dont care for your own talented..others will snatch them.

It’s amazing how this stupid government hasn’t embraced this Kamkwamba guy to promote scientific innovation in the country. Iwo ntchito ndi politics basi aziba ndalama. That simple windmill idea could dramatically reduce the burden on our old and tired electricity grid. Just empower local communities to build their own windmills like Kamkwamba is doing.

Chichewa speakers are the most arrogant people. They can’t speak any other language properly (not even other Malawian languages) yet they want everyone to speak Chichewa like a Mbewa-hunting, nyau-dancing villager to embrace him.
Chiwetel did extremely well with his Chichewa. Can you imagine yourself going to a little known foreign land, say Bangladesh or Chad and act out a movie in their language?
