Director Fernando Merrills once confessed three reasons for directing the film: one is related to the pharmaceutical industry; the other is filming in Kenya; and the third is that, in the final analysis, the film is telling a beautiful love story.

    In the face of the weak and weak, we can see the monstrous ugliness of mankind more clearly.

The Constant Gardener quotes

  • [first lines]

    Justin Quayle: Oh, thank you Arnold. I... I can manage that. But I still don't see why you couldn't wait a couple of weeks. Why go all the way up to Loki?

    Tessa Quayle: Well, we want to hear Grace Makanga speak, and she won't be coming to Nairobi.

  • Arthur "Ham" Hammond: So who has got away with murder? Not, of course, the British government. They merely covered up, as one does, the offensive corpses. Though not literally. That was done by person or persons unknown. So who has committed murder? Not, of course, the highly respectable firm of KDH Pharmaceutical, which has enjoyed record profits this quarter, and has now licensed ZimbaMed of Harare, to continue testing Dypraxa in Africa. No, there are no murders in Africa. Only regrettable deaths. And from those deaths we derive the benefits of civilization, benefits we can afford so easily... because those lives were bought so cheaply.
