Inhalt: |
ln colonial Kenya, former chiIdhood playmates Peter McKenzie (Rock Hudson) and Kimani (Sidney Poitier) have maintained their deep friendship despite differences in race, cIass and tradition. Then the bIoody Mau Mau uprising convulses their magnificent homeIand. And the men discover that even the strongest bond may not be stronger than the beat of drums, the crack of rifIes and the cry for freedom.
Based on Robert C. Ruark’s best selIer, featuring African locaIes and scripted and directed by Richard Brooks (Lord Jim, ln Cold BIood), this unsparing and perceptive work is both a powerful indictment of war and a powerfuIly understanding Iook at the injustices that drive men to war. Says Winston Churchill in the film’s prologue: "The probIems of East Africa are the problems of the worId." |
