AFRICA ADDIO [HD New Master Edition]

[Machine Translation] The most controversial film in the series, which even resulted in a court case! (It took G. Jacopetti, the founder of the Mondo film series (62-63), three years to complete this blockbuster. This film was supposed to be Jacopetti's most confident work, as it clearly captures the reality and chaos of the African countries where independence movements intensified in the 1960s. However, compared to the previous two films, this film contained many heavy and tragic images, and some scenes were once again suspected of being made up. The film was a box-office flop after being pummeled by the media. Furthermore, in the final scenes of the Congo uprising, the camera accompanies the rebels as they sweep a village that serves as their stronghold. Not only did the camera capture the entire looting and massacre by the mercenaries, but it even captured a real execution scene on film. This became a major problem, and Jacopetti was charged with abetting murder. After an investigation by the Italian Ministry of Justice, Jacopetti was eventually acquitted, but the truth is still unknown. After this, Jacopetti stopped making documentary films altogether. Included episodes / Kenya's Independence / The Mau Mau Tribe's Trial / Zebra Trapping / Elephant Hunting and Poaching / Animal Rescue Headquarters / Arab Massacre / African Daughters Yearning to Grow Up / Tanganyika Muslim Massacre / The Congo Uprising and Looting / Africa Money / and more.

裁判沙汰にまで発展したシリーズ最大の問題作! 「世界残酷物語」シリーズ (62-63)で一世を風靡したモンド映画の始祖G・ヤコペッティが約3年の歳月を費やし完成させた超大作。本作は60年代に独立運動が激化したアフリカ諸国の実態と混迷の様を克明にとらえたヤコペッティ最大の自信作になるはずであった。が、前2作と比べて重く悲惨な映像が多いうえに、いくつかのシーンでまたしても"やらせ"疑惑が勃発。マスコミに叩かれた挙句、映画は興行的大惨敗を喫してしまった。さらに終盤のコンゴ動乱シーンでは、反乱軍の拠点となる村の掃討作戦にカメラが同行。傭兵たちによる略奪・虐殺の一部始終を撮影したばかりか、本物の処刑シーンすらもフィルムに収めた。このことは大問題となり、ヤコペッティは殺人教唆の罪で告訴された。イタリア司法省の調査により最終的には無罪となったが、真相は今も不明である。これ以降、ヤコペッティはドキュメンタリー映画を撮ることを完全にやめてしまった。収録エピソード ■ケニア独立■マウマウ族の裁判■シマウマの罠■象狩りと密猟■動物救出本部■アラブ人大虐殺■大人に憧れるアフリカの娘たち■タンガニーカ回教徒虐殺■コンゴ動乱と略奪■アフリカ・マネー─など。
