Synopsis
This work chronicles the brutal Italian conquest in Africa – specifically, the violent attempts at subjugating Ethiopia – under the dictatorial rule of Mussolini. Told in chapters, the film employs footage – much of it amateur, both beautiful and terrifying, taken from private and anonymous archives – that is tinted, toned, slowed, and re-edited.
