About Concerning Violence

Concerning Violence is a powerful and thought-provoking documentary that delves into the history of colonialism and its lasting impact on African nations. Directed by Göran Olsson, the film is based on Frantz Fanon's seminal book The Wretched of the Earth and features archival footage from various African countries.

The film is divided into nine chapters, each exploring a different aspect of colonialism and its aftermath. From the violent suppression of anti-colonial movements to the exploitation of natural resources, Concerning Violence paints a vivid picture of the brutality and injustice that characterized the colonial era.

One of the most striking aspects of the film is its use of Fanon's words as a narrative thread. The author's powerful and incisive commentary provides a compelling framework for the archival footage, highlighting the ways in which colonialism dehumanized and oppressed African people.

Overall, Concerning Violence is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of colonialism and its ongoing impact on the world today. It is a sobering reminder of the atrocities committed in the name of empire, and a call to action for those who seek to create a more just and equitable world.
