...khotla was eventually swayed, and the villagers, unable to tolerate the crew's lame attempts at constructing a circle of mud huts, even built the set. On the day of the shoot, hundreds have come to "mourn" at the funeral of the father of the central character, Precious Ramotswe, played faultlessly by R&B singer Jill Scott...
