Raoul Peck included aspects of his failed adaptation of the Continental Drift film which Josh Hartnett was attached to star.
A deeply personal project of Peck's, his own experience of bearing witness to consequences of colonialism, racism and buried histories of African and indigenous peoples is included.
Based on the acclaimed book, "Exterminate all the brutes" by Swedish author and traveler Sven Lindqvist. As a prolific writer and traveler, Lindqvist's perspective of history and Europe's role in the world was greatly transformed by his travels through Africa, Asia and Latin America.
