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.[1][2] 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.[3][4][5][6][7]
