Episode 85: "Africa Speaks!" (part 2)

"Africa Speaks!" part two...the adventure continues. More, good footage of 1930s Africa and the tribes that lived in the Uganda/Kenya/Tanzania area. Now we get to the exciting stuff, the lions. WARNING: This part contains a graphic scene of an African man being eaten by lions. No kidding. This is a documentary filmed before CGI effects and all that, so brace yourself. You can't help but feel like the guy got set up too. Poor Kaga. This documentary is also very hard to find in a complete/unedited format. It seems the lion attack and the scenes where the filmmakers visit the tribe with the "duck-billed women" were removed at some point in time. But the lion hunt that follows by the native tribe is still pretty cool. I had to piece two different movie clips together for this one, in order to get as close to the original cut of the film as possible. So the video quality changes right in the middle of this episode, but I did it for the sake of having the complete movie. Peace.
