Five Documentaries on Africa
Hubert Collins, American Renaissance, May 17, 2020
By the end of the century, there could be more Africans than Asians; Africa could actually have the largest population of any continent. Here’s a hint at what that future could be like.
The Cannibal Warlords of Liberia (2012)
The title says it all.
Empire of Dust (2011)
This examination of Chinese incursions into Africa shines a light on racial differences in every scene.
Robert Mugabe . . . What Happened? (2011)
Despite its liberal bias, this film shows how the West toadied to Robert Mugabe for decades.
Robert Mugabe and the White African (2009)
This is an up-close account of a white man’s battle to save his farm.
General Idi Amin Dada: A Self Portrait (1974)
Every time I watch this movie I am reminded of Joseph Conrad’s classic novella Heart of Darkness: “. . . I seemed at one bound to have been transported into some lightless region of subtle horrors, where pure, uncomplicated savagery was a positive relief, being something that had a right to exist — obviously — in the sunshine.”
