A beautiful photographic exploration of the revolutionary movements in Africa in the '60s and 70's.
Praise for the Concerning Violence documentary:
"By grounding colonial brutalities and the responses to those injustices in the visual, the phenomenon of colonialism attains a larger and more global significance. Olsson's interest is in decolonisation-that short yet potent moment at the tail end of an anti-colonial war followed by the transfer of power when the new nation comes into being. This has often proven to be one of the most violent episodes in post-colonial history, and [Frantz] Fanon is its most articulate philosopher. . . . Olsson's investment [is] in making Fanon's theory relevant and up-to-date."
-Guardian
"Concerning Violence [is] a postcolonialist montage . . . [an] illustration of Fanon's 1961 anticolonialist broadside, The Wretched of the Earth, abridged and sharpened to its ferocious point."
-New York Times
"Concerning Violence [is] an intelligent, bracing look at the dynamics of colonial power."
-Sundance Review
"I do not think it is premature to call Concerning Violence the documentary of the year."
-Grolsch Film Works
"Sobering, important and expertly curated."
-The List
"Passionate call to arms."
-Time Out
