Man to Man is a 2005historicaldrama film directed byRégis Wargnier and starringJoseph Fiennes,Kristin Scott Thomas, andIain Glen. The screenplay concerns a man in a team of Victorian scientists conducting research inAfrica, who begins to have doubts about the human cost of their mission. It was scripted byWilliam Boyd.
In 1870, Victorian scientists capture a pygmy couple during an expedition inCentral Africa. They are transported back to theUnited Kingdom for further study as part of research involving the theory of the evolution of man. However, the primitive outlook of the pygmies and the sophisticated methods used by the scientists, as well as the complications of adapting to a foreign environment, make their anthropological study more difficult. Ultimately, as the pygmies become more absorbed into the public, major disagreements erupt culminating in a bloody and tragic confrontation.
