BWANA, which opened the 1996 Miami Hispanic Film Festival, was also one of the fest's highlights. A thriller, serving as social commentary on the situation facing African immigrants in 90's Spain, the film presents both sides of the issue fairly, and also succeeds as tense entertainment. Actor turned Director Imanol Uribe does a fine job of directing veteran actors Maria Barranco, Andres Pajares and a good ensemble cast.
