Sanders of the River

Entertaining viewing, loved the jerky camera work and grainy quality of the film. I was more interested from an historical aspect, of how the British colonials behaved and treated the indigenous populations, under the yoke of imperialism. Lots of clipped RP accents spoken by the officers as you’d expect. It’s also worth bearing in mind that most of the attitudes expressed are a reflection of that period. Paul Robeson was reported to have disassociated himself from any involvement with the film later on in his career.

This the multi-language version, so when loading watch for the language selection menu. My interest in this film stems from my having been in The Northern Rhodesia Police and also knowing Michael Mataka who was the first African Police Commissioner after Independance.

My elderly mum loves this film and I was so pleased to find it on offer for such a good price.

The sound track is very poor on this film...it needs to be remastered. Be aware that although one can switch off the Spanish dubbing the subtitles cannot be removed.

A good classic movie.

Excellent film of an era gone by.But lots of style, scenario delightful, fabulous sceneries, very interesting document on the African tribes present along the rivers.Worth every cent.

Nothing to dislike

Apparently I have to write something here about this childish drivel, otherwise my star rating won't register. :)
