This mondo-style documentary was shot by American filmmakers during a voyage to the African wilderness, and offers a glimpse of life in the vanishing primitive tribes. However, the film prefers to focus on the more exploitable elements of life among the indigenous cultures, such as a real life witch doctor performing brain surgery without anesthetic, group mating rituals, blood drinking, the slaughter of animals, human sacrifice and other examples of sex and violence in the "Dark Continent." Kwaheri was released in the United States by exploitation kingpin Kroger Babb, who billed it as "the film that stretches your eyes."

(2015) WARNING: ADULT LANGUAGE. Documentary featuring an emerging strain of anger among some prominent African-American activists and intellectuals during the civil rights movement.
“Blood In My Eye,” produced by Louis Bourgeois of Vox Press of Oxford, and filmmaker Mykki Newton intersperses scenes from the movement in the 1960s with the provocative language of Eldridge Cleaver, the Black Panther leader who wrote “Soul On Ice,” novelist and essayist James Baldwin, the author of “The Fire Next Time,” and other black writers.
RUNTIME: 61 MINUTES

This film examines the history of Africa and Ancient Africans.

Made with the direct participation of Malcolm X and narrated by Ossie Davis, this work of political cinema offers an intense, incendiary vision of black revolution across America. A forgotten masterpiece from radical filmmaker, theorist and founder of Cinéma Éngagé, Édouard de Laurot.

Suppressed in its initial release within the USA, the film went on to attain international recognition both as an artistic triumph and
as a work of authentic political acuity and power.
