After the stories that my ex-fiance told me about the 5 years he spent in Gabon and Cote d'Ivoire in the late 1960s and early 1970s, I don't think that I'd be surprised by anything in this film. Post Colonial Africa was a butcherie that no one wants to acknowledge.
"In every battle the eyes are the first to be conquered..."
- Tacitus, Germania
"One must work in solitude as a man who opens a clearing in virgin forest, sustained by the unique hope that somewhere in its depths, others are working to the same end."
- Ernst Jünger
"I find that I must go handsomely, whatever it costs me, and the charge will be made up in the fruit it brings."
