As colonialism in Africa came to an end in the early 1960s, a continent of unstable nations was left tragically ill-prepared for their new-found independence. Over the next three years, Jacopetti and Prosperi would risk their own lives to be among the few eyewitnesses to Africa’s agony. From the genocide of Zanzibar to the Watusi and Mau Mau massacres, from mercenary assaults in the Congo to industrial complicity in South African apartheid, the most savage beast on the Dark Continent emerged as man himself. What began as a mere documentary soon became a picture postcard from hell the directors’ first-person portrait of the civil wars, devastating famine and shocking slaughter that still plagues Africa today. This is their story. AFRICA ADDIO is their masterpiece. Upon the release of AFRICA ADDIO, Jacopetti and Prosperi – who had narrowly escaped execution in Africa – would be accused around the world of racism, exploitation and even murder. The controversy would irreparably taint the film and haunt their reputations forever.
