Yes, this is real. At least the visual part. Some of the voice-over was changed in editing. Whether the intent was to make it more horrifying or to justify some of the scenes, I'm not sure.
The massacre scenes and the Stanleyville battle will be hard to watch.
The narrator sounded like he was seeing this for the first time as he was narrating. The shock was plain. But then that was the point.
Beware of early vids that are missing 20-30 minutes of footage.
I don't think the filmmakers meant to take sides here. Although I get the impression the hunting scenes were the main reason for filming. They just seemed to find out about certain other events and jumped on it.
