No it's not true! Yes he was a murderer, but he was not a cannibal! He was "too french" for that (worshiped Napoleon and De Gaulle!). Besides, his personal chef admitted that he lied about having cooked human beings for Bokassa!
@pzimet Hypocritical? Hardly. 'Sitting' on youtube? I can't, it's not a tangible object. I think you're losing touch with reality. Follow your own advice. McDonald's Cheeseburgers.
Bokassa was a megalomaniac, with a lust for power far beyond his grasp, and a penchant toward excess. A man who would take any steps to accomplish his own selfish goals, irrespective of the moral implications and subsequent consequences. Great documentary. As good as it was when I first watched it in 96.
I also saw this many years ago. I am glad to see it here on youtube. I've thought about the Central African Republic quite often over the years because of this film. I wish more people knew about the nutcase Bokassa.
Excellent sound quality!

@SuperOviedista At his trial he was acquitted of cannbalism. It wouldn't surprise me if he participated in the massacre of the school children.

I thought I saw everything from Werner Herzog but didn't realize this existed. Thanks for posting - does anybody have the name of the documentary?
(Interestingly enough, this reminds us that there are only two things in this world that Werner Herzog fears: Crabs (non-sexual) and chicken ... :)

The quality is poor, but this is the only chance I've had to see it. If you have a better copy, why not post it instead of just complaining about it?
