This movie is about Africa after the English, French and Portugese and whoever else pulled out in the 60's and the aftermath. It shows scenes of how big game were slaughtered and how bad the people had it there, and how bad and unruly things became when Africans tried to take Africa back.I am a huge fan of the faces of death and any of these violent films that show death. They are disturbing at times but I find them rather interesting. I don't mind watching people die as bad as I do animals as morbid as that may sound, but it's true.This film starts off with an extremely long amount of time talking about the history of Africa and everything leading up to the 60's. It finally gets going and shows animals being killed for a long time. The animal deaths are brutal and violent. It later shows people being killed in numerous amounts of ways, some shot in the head and some killed execution style. It shows many dead bodies including children.I kept waiting and waiting for this film to get to the point and by the time it did it was rather too little too late. Animal poaching and big game hunters as well as tribes killing and spearing innocent creatures was not pleasant to watch, but not interesting in a shocking manner.I don't know what to say about this film, it isn't amazing, it is not interesting. Some people claim it has beautiful scenes and great editing but I beg to differ, it was garbage and out of about 50 shockumentary films I have about death, this was by far the most boring. I would not recommend it to anyone..it was not over the top or unbelievably gross or anything and I say avoid this film and don't buy into the hype.1 star out of a possible 10 -- this film SUCKS!!!

what idiot would call this a documentary. all you see is animals having their guts pulled out and Africans being murdered with close ups. one of the most un-entertaining films ever. if you really want to see torture and executions go visit a slaughterhouse or an abattoir and as for bodies go to the mortuary. gross and disgusting.vile tasteless and senseless waste of film.anyone who is a deranged pshyco will love this but those of you who are squeamish don't watch this.YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. pass the puke buckets , please oh and if you have friends round be ready with the mop bucket and disinfectant for this so called documentary of puke inducing gore

This is a very well done documentary. But what it shows will mortify you. I was yelling at the screen. The atrocities against the animals in this documentary absolutely made me sick. Animals are slaughtered relentlessly, cruelly and for no reason other than the sport of it. I wanted those wild animals to rip their killers to shreds. At least once it would have been nice to see one of the poachers ripped to shreds by the elephants, lions and hippos. It never ceases to sicken me how a man with a gun thinks he has really accomplished something by shooting an animal. Watching the men stand proudly with their gun over the carcass of an animal for a photo just makes me sick. They should all have been fed to the lions.This documentary proves one thing and one thing only. Humans are the sickest and cruelest animals on the planet.

This just aired on the small (digital) "culture" channel here in Finland. I am not sure whether this was the censored or the uncensored version - if this was the censored one I don't even want to think about what might be in the uncensored version.Very very very impressive photography and - above all - editing. It *is* in parts very gruesome (esp. animal lovers should be prepared for some depictions of mindless cruelty) - but it also shows beautiful things, black, white, animal and floral.That this is hard to come by today I can understand, it is just impossible politically incorrect (and must have been so at the time too). The makers of this movie seem to sympathise with everyone and no-one
