Plot.
Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965), the mission doctor, theologian and philosopher who founded a hospital in the rainforests of Gabon, achieved sainthood in his lifetime, at least in the popular imagination. The critical assessment of his life and works in recent years, however, has been slightly more ambivalent. Ba Kobhio Bassek is the first director to examine this medical missionary from a purely African point-of-view.

Wiki.
The Great White Man of Lambaréné (Le grand blanc de Lambaréné) is a 1995 biopic of Albert Schweitzer by the Cameroonian filmmaker Bassek Ba Kobhio.
The film, made on the site of Schweitzer's hospital at Lambaréné on the Ogooué River in Gabon, has received critical attention as a post-colonial re-interrogation of the myth of Schweitzer.
