John le Carré offered a stirring indictment of corporate imperialism and the pharmaceutical industry with his novel The Constant Gardener. In 2005, Fernando Merielles adapted the work into an Oscar-winning drama starring Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz. But 15 years later, and no longer blinded by the shine of gold trophies, how well do the novel and film hold up as social commentaries? Joined by Rachel Stone (BOMBMagazine, Real Life, The New Republic), Caleb and Frank discuss over-sized suits, Bono, and what Ralph Fiennes looks like when he cries.
