Circumstances in the area affected the cast and crew to the extent that they set up the Constant Gardener Trust in order to provide basic education for these villages.

The story follows Justin Quayle ( Ralph Fiennes), a British diplomat in Kenya, as he tries to solve the murder of his wife Tessa ( Rachel Weisz), an Amnesty activist, alternating with many flashbacks telling the story of their love.

The screenplay by Jeffrey Caine is based on John le Carré's 2001 novel of the same name. The Constant Gardener is a 2005 British-German drama thriller film directed by Fernando Meirelles.
