| Summary |
From the archives of showman Dave Friedman, a documentary shot in Kenya British East Africa. Narrated by the TV news icon Chet Huntley, this film appealed to the sleaze aficionados by detailing the atrocities of the Mau Mau cult. This film is a forerunner to the Mondo genre. History quickly becomes exploitation, as the film dwells on blood drinking rituals with goat entrails, actual footage of mutilated massacre victims, and some graphic and obviously staged scenes of slaughters in progress. |
