I watched this a few months back. It was very moving and sad.

here's a synopsis Jenni :)

Tessa is a tenacious activist that fights for the rights of the poor people and she helps attending to Doctor Arnold Bluhm. Tessa finds out accidentally that a powerful pharmacist firm (3 Bees) tries to prove a medication among the Africans, that supposedly will carry colateral damages that will produce monetary big benefits for the company. Tessa is more involved in the matter and she decides to request help to Sandy, a Justin's friend, because she don't want to involve to her husband. Tessa is murdered in a trip to the north of Kenya and the authority try to accuse Arnold for a pasional crime. Justin that is a fan of the gardening, decides to clarify the crime until the last consequences, this take him to uncover dirty arrangements of the powerful, who threaten him and they drive him to make the decision of taking off his life in the same place where they killed his dear wife.
