Sinopse

Paul Kersey and Sam Dickson discuss a 1966 book forged from the incredible documentary, "Africa Addio." Released in America as "Africa: Blood and Guts," the Italian documentary has been heavily censored and attacked as one of the most racist films ever made. As the authors of the book note, all they did was document the collapse of European civilization into savagery during the post-colonial period of the 1960s in Kenya, Zanzibar, the Congo, and across the African continent. The book impressively details the history of the white man on the Dark Continent, and the extraordinary censorship and accusations of racism the Italian filmmakers encountered for simply turning on their cameras and recording what unfolded during decolonization.
