Summary
In a potent, arresting, and surprisingly emotional film, Olsson artfully elucidates Frantz Fanon's psychiatric and psychological analysis of dehumanizing effects of colonization on the individual and the nation. Fanon's theory is that the violence of colonialism must be met with greater violence to be defeated, as well as his vision and plea to reject the lust for colonial power and instead embrace a more creative and human society.Additional Information
