This little-seen Italian underground classic bills itself as a documentary on life in the anti-bellum South and an examination of the evils of slavery, with actors re-creating the everyday and dialogue courtesy of actual letters and documents.
It is, in fact, thanks to the creators of Mondo Cane, what Roger Ebert calls "the most disgusting, contemptuous insult to decency" and a "vomit-bag of racism and perversion-mongering."
A truly unbelievable, outrageously violent, one-of-a-kind oddity.
