Come Back, Africa (1959)

Fiction film that looks like a documentary or vice versa. Either way, what film with urgent desire to communicate something, to express true, new ideas, is no documentary? Here not spare a single plane. Here is, seventy years later, a work that connects with the roots of cinema and the Lumière's cinematograph. Yes, by adding based script and ideological approach. His strong political involvement in key social complaint against South African apartheid does not diminish a fascinating narrative, with different linguistic levels. Pure dignity. Worth mentioning the emotional, "family" performance of admirable Miriam Makeba.
