Goodbye Uncle Tom

It is a pseudo-documentary in which the filmmakers go back in time and visit antebellum America, using period documents to examine, in graphic detail, the racist ideology and degrading conditions faced by Africans under slavery. Because of the use of published documents and materials from the public record, the film labels itself a documentary, though all footage is restaged using actors.[1] Though the film is presented as a documentary, the fantasy framing device of the directors travelling back in time combined with the re-staging of historical events make it one of the earliest known mockumentary films.
