Swank (Million Dollar Baby) and Blethyn (Little Voice) are two mothers who lost their sons to malaria. They work together to get more money allocated to malaria. Woods (Hercules) plays the father of Swank who knows government. There is a scene where he talks about how if you add all the deaths of every American in every battle and MULTIPLE it by 2 you get the number of children in the world that day every year of malaria. The scene in front of the senate hearing when Blethyn lays out pictures she has taken from her trip to Africa is heartbreaking. She talks about who the kids are and their personalities, then at the end says they all died of malaria and if the committee wants her to wait and come back next year she'll about a million more pictures.Grillo (The Grey) is Swank's husband. All in all, I say: SEE IT on HBO
