Once banned in the United States, but now available on NetFlix, I was told.

Goodbye Uncle Tom

Per Wikipedia:

"Goodbye Uncle Tom (Italian: Addio Zio Tom) is a 1971 Italian film directed by Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi and features music by Riz Ortolani.
Addio Zio Tom is a pseudo documentary where the filmmakers go back in time and visit antebellum America, using period documents to examine, in graphic detail, the racist ideology and degrading conditions faced by Africans under slavery. Because of the use of published documents and materials from the public record, with actors playing the role of the historical figures, the film labels itself a documentary, and portrays slave life as a non-stop orgy of violence, rape and torture committed by Whites against their Black slaves."

Is there a question? Some aspect of this you'd like to debate?

Nope, I just wanted everyone to view and comment. If anyone has any additional information about the limited film's release back in the 70's, that will be a plus.

"...the film labels itself a documentary, and portrays slave life as a non-stop orgy of violence, rape and torture committed by Whites against their Black slaves."

Sounds less like a documentary and more like a creative work of opinion.

The movie is awesome, but I don't believe it was banned, just edited. I bought the original, uncut version in NYC back in 2005.
