Cameroun: Autopsie d'une Indépendance (2008)
Directed by Gaële Le Roi, Valérie Osouf
· 53m
This documentary looks back on the nationalist resistance of the UPC, created in Kamerun in 1948, and its political and military repression by France until 1971, classified as a state secret. Behind the official imagery of the country's independence and the construction of "Françafrique" hides another reality: a war that claimed several hundred thousand victims between 1955-1970. The peaceful decolonization of black Africa is a myth. Napalm, bombings, population massacres — the secret war waged in Kamerun was incredibly brutal.
