The legacy of a driven man - why Rudolf Geigy set out for Africa (2018)
The film shows the genesis of the Swiss Tropical Institute under the direction of Rudolf Geigy. From his employees and students he was partly admired, partly feared. His moods and outbursts were legendary. As a wealthy industrialist, he was able to afford virtually everything and generously invested in the establishment of the Tropical Institute, but also made considerable development aid in Africa. A search for traces with contemporary witnesses.

Surprisingly incoherent and boring
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
