| They’ve been called pioneers and geniuses, criminals and charlatans. For more
than four decades, their movies have been both banned and acclaimed all over the
world. Now THE MONDO CANE COLLECTION presents the still-shocking films of
Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi, a body of work that has influenced
everything from broadcast news to ‘reality TV’ and changed the face of
cinema forever.
MONDO CANE is the original ‘Shockumentary’ sensation that launched the
entire ‘Mondo’ genre, as well as its notorious hit sequels WOMEN OF THE
WORLD and MONDO CANE 2. AFRICA ADDIO – here in both its devastating English
version and rarely seen Directors’ Cut – is the horrific portrait of the
Dark Continent that ignited an international political firestorm. GOODBYE UNCLE
TOM – and its even more incendiary Directors’ Cut – are perhaps the
filmmakers’ most controversial works, an epic depiction of the American slave
trade and its brutal legacy that remain among the most racially charged films
ever made. And THE GODFATHERS OF MONDO is an all-new documentary by David
Gregory on the films of Jacopetti & Prosperi featuring explosive interviews,
never-before-seen footage and much more.
For the first time ever, these films have been fully restored from the
original negatives and are presented in their definitive versions – loaded
with Extras.
