Review of Concerning Violence (2014) by Ian T — 17 Jun 2015
A sobering documentary on the struggle for African liberation paints a sorry picture of Europe in its efforst to destroy the uprising of the new Africa.
Based on a book written by Frantz Fanon who had real difficulty getting his book published before dying at the age of 36.
The film contains nine segments showing the brutal repression by so called civilised nations and how even today Europe keeps parts of the world poor and downtrodden in order to reap the benefits of the lands they repress.
For example take the brutal gorilla war in Mozambique during the 70s one only has to look at events in Syria to see how little Europe and America have learnt in the intervening years.
The film encourages you to question the periods of great empires and the deadly legacy which they left of the colonizes people of those nations.
