This is the movie PRIMEVAL. A story based off of real events in Burundi, East Africa, of a giant crocodile named GUSTAVE that kills and eats people. The movie is bombarded with distorted images about what Burundi is really like.
Highlighting dark, dirty looking damp cities, dark murky swamps, with tan dried grass seemingly vacant of any beauty of green and vegetation to adorn it, wild animals roaming everywhere in the wild, dry bush, death everywhere as a result of crocodile attacks and human slaughtering by rebels, and nasty food with crazy looking possessed witch doctors as the reliable guides of the camps, to top it all off in the end with EVERYONE winding up DYING, and the comment towards the end of the movie that wound up being one of the main trademarks of the movie where ORLANDO JONES (interestingly they have the African American Actor have this line) calls out right before he dies...

"I HATE AFRICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (They at least didn't even have him say "I hate Burundi" but have him call out the whole continent as if the whole continent is like that.)


LOL! What people don't know, is that these extreme images are NOT AT ALL what the country of Burundi is like, and even more than that, what the entire continent of the world of AFRICA is like (second largest CONTINENT in the world).

If you'd like to see what the real Burundi looks like, go on to the next video...

Movies like these are what shape peoples perceptions of reality.

The reason for these distorted images of Africa?

IT IS ONLY ONE OF MANY STRATEGIES USED TO KEEP PEOPLE VIEWING AFRICA NEGATIVELY, WHICH KEEPS INVESTORS AWAY, WEAKENS THE ECONOMIES, WHICH ALL PREVENT AFRICAN WEALTH FROM ENRICHING THE AFRICAN PEOPLE.
This serves the purpose of helping all the resources be quietly PLUNDERED by the western world (as Africa is the leading resource provider for the world) to help keep the 1st world empires wealthy, since it is African resources they depend on to help them maintain their status as wealthy, 1st world empires.
