Overview

A chronicle of the violence that occurred in much of the African continent throughout the 1960s. As many African countries were transitioning from colonial rule to other forms of government, violent political upheavals were frequent. Revolutions in Zanzibar and Kenya in which thousands were killed are shown, the violence not only political; there is also extensive footage of hunters and poachers slaughtering different types of wild animals.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A deliberately provocative documentary that thrusts you into the chaos and brutality of African decolonization in the 1960s, mixing political upheaval with graphic footage of animal slaughter to create an experience designed to shock and disturb rather than explain.
