Storyline

From the producers of the Mondo Canes 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!

What really occurred in Africa upon "liberation"

This is a documentary showing what REALLY occurred in Africa upon "liberation". This is not the Disneyland version brought to you by the controlled media in the US. Unfortunately, the complete and uncensored version of this important film has long been unavailable. Now it seems that even the shortened version is unavailable.
