From the producers of ‘Mondo Cane’ comes this violent document of a continent in transition; the change from white colonialism to independent black statehood. Often times, this resulted in the wholesale massacre of thousands of people and the indiscriminate extermination of wild life. Captured on film are mercenary killer squads wiping out entire villages, executions, Mau-Mau massacres and more!
Awesome. Much thanks!
Great! This is the original version with the italian narration who was shown in European cinemas. No idea why Jacopetti gave up creative control for the US version and allowed the distributor to butcher the film and add another narration. Teriffic cinematography & a masterful score from Ortolani! I’m not too fond of the hunting resp. supposed “poachers” footage but nonetheless it’s a real work of art.
