The Interpreter (2005): Translating for Matoban Ambassador

The clip Translating for Matoban Ambassador from The Interpreter (2005) with Christopher Evan Welch, Nicole Kidman

Portuguese.
Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen,
the situation in Matobo has now become critical.
With Ajene Xola in hiding and Kuman-Kuman in exile,
Edmond Zuwanie has few domestic obstacles
to his policy of ethnic cleansing.
The Security Council therefore must press for his immediate referral
to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
Miss Broome.
I'm Jonathan Williams, Ambassador Harris's adviser. We need you for a few minutes.
Which language?
The Matoban ambassador. He'll speak Ku.
Ku?
You speak the language, don't you?
Let's be clear, Mr. Ambassador.
The United States may not recognize the ICC as a legitimate court,
but we do not condone the methods President Zuwanie uses against his own people.
Dr. Zuwanie is an educator.
He is... our teacher.
But his opponents engage in ever more ferocious acts.
The partisans of both Kuman-Kuman and Ajene Xola have become...
terrorists.
The French proposal is a diplomatic headache for both of us.
What a predicament.
It doesn't have to be.
Dr. Zuwanie wouldn't have to appear before the International Criminal Court.
