The Girl in the Cafe premiered in Australia on ABC TV last night. It stars one of my favourite actors, Bill Nighy, and Kelly Macdonald. The drama of this movie was achieved by speaking out - when ordinary people would keep quiet. Yet the characters, Lawrence and Gina, were distinguished by what was not said when others would reach out with words to make themselves known. And if you have never heard of the Millenium Development Goals or their impact has escaped you, listen to the simple but telling facts and you too will want to speak out - to your best friend, your member of Parliament, that rich bloke at the golf club. You may even want to leave a comment on this blog. But you may never forget Lawrence and Gina - his head for facts and her commitment to honesty and their stumbling non-disclosing love.
