Piano in the Ethiopean refugee camp

In the middle of a vast desert with no rain for three years in a remote refugee camp where 40 people die from multiple diseases every day and food is scarce there is a well-tuned piano for Jolie's character to serenade the camp. Sorry to wax cynical but I just found this to be ridiculous.

Sarah Jordan (Jolie) in Cambodia wearing a revealing tank/singlet top was also silly. A full-busted adult western bossy female would draw a lot of offence in this context. If you want to get past corrupt Asian (male) officials a woman has to at least cover up and be "respectful". It should be otherwise but in reality it aint so.

I thought about both of these points! Why is she running around in a tank top! She should have been informed enough to know that would only make the males angry at her, or possible draw unwanted sexual attention.

the piano at a refugee camp...in great working order even? ludicrous! but it was set up for the end of the movie. daughter playing the piano.
