A real vacation travelogue later gets entered into the 'Mondo Cane' clone sweepstakes.

Most of the scenes here pre-dated Mondo Magic for their grossness. I found a lot of this hard to watch. And remember, this was vintage early 50's.

The rites and rituals were actually real. But I wondered if the good dentist passed some loot around to give him a front row filming. It didn't seem too staged, but the camera work was a little TOO perfect.

One tends to find this one buried with the Faces Of Death and Mondo copies in a large video warehouse. It's worth a check, but don't pay too much.

An American dentist on an African tour films this interesting documentary that acts as a view into the life of the primitive cultures of people living there. As with most mondo films, there is some potentially graphic and violent footage, making this one not for the weak of heart. Overall, the effect here is not purely exploitation, and the film is actually quite revealing and at times educational, as a true documentary should be. Definitely worth a look if you are interested in this type of thing...one of the best of these types of films.
