Does anyone think using the instrumental version of Dre/Snoop Dogg's "B*tch Nigg*z as background music is not very PC when talking about Africa? See 2:00 :D

Surely the sound guy is having a laugh. Great documentary though.

Even to this day the christian revival in Africa is the strongest in the world

Just to help anyone out, the correct order is: Episode 1= Why Britain?, E2= White Plague, E3= The Mission, E4= Heavens Breed, E5= Maxim Force, E6 Empire for Sale

Again, people who denounce the missionaries of the 19thC tend to forget that they were the only mitigating force in a brutal era. There were 2 schools of thought at the time, one held that the 'heathen' peoples were irredeemable savages to be exploited or if necessaey wiped out. The only opponents of this idea were, unfortunately, the assimilationists who held that the 'savage', if converted, could be made into a fully civilized person. There was no third opinion at the time.
