A weird hybrid between the faces of death copycat shockumentary films and a more traditional Mondo film on "the unknown world". Featuring human sacrifice, animals killing animals, poachers killing or capturing animals (I mostly skipped the parts involving the poachers), impressive surgery by witch doctor and then the modern variant done by surgeons.
About half way through the film, it shows a poorly edited scenes of "Cannibalism" which is basically ripped from a cannibal film from the early 80s. A similarly suspicious scene shows a man being attacked by a crocodile. Newsreel of a war in the Congo and the aftermath of said war along with executions of the rebels. More scenes of poachers which Includes an bunch of vultures being blown up and a love scene - that seems to be a cheap way for its creator to put in a sex scene, if only for a few seconds - then the film ends with some beauty scenes of alive animals, with a closing message over a depressing video showing the bones of dead animals.
Overall, this film is bad, it does contain some interesting scenes but most of the runtime is wasted on shots of poachers, scenes of apparent cannibalism and overall poorly selected videos which has no meaning other than filler to pad out the film until it can get to the next scene. It's as if someone just found various clips of Africa, edited them together and talked over them without any goal other than profit. The only positive thing about this film is that is does contain scenes that I have not seen before, other than that, it's pretty boring and meaningless.
