Who is the hunted??
The end of the clip was pretty horrific.

Toto--Africa, I always liked that song. Different people, different culture.

Christ, I could loan them a gun and a few bullets. Brutal
Somebody posted this on you tube. ..........The video is called Africa Addio. It runs 138 minutes and depicts the time in Africa when the colonialists were first leaving Africa and southern Africa was falling back into the hands of the indigenous people. The hunting scenes depict blacks poaching in areas that used to be national preserves and parks. The slaughter of game was not merely for susbsistence. The scenes of mass graves are from the revolution in Zanzibar.

I believe I remember reading about a bunch of white farmers getting slaughtered during the same period.

It gives you a good idea how early man survived.
Brutal but impressive. There's a lot of danger in what they are doing.
When did they upgrade from the wooden stick to the machete?

Got to admit......that takes some balls to be within a few feet of a wounded Cape Buffalo with a freakin stick. Thanks for the video.

It gives you a good idea how early man survived. no kidding, wooly mammoth hunts must have been similar to that but with atl-atls. the entire development of scocial behavior in humans and the civilization that follwed probably hinged on the need for group efforts to bring down large mammals with spears

I couldn't get past the part where the elephant is pulling spears out of it's head with it's trunk. From what I did see, I don't think I missed anything else worthwhile.

Racism aside, I can see why they are so good in sports.
You'd have to be pretty fleet of foot to survive long under those conditions.

i watched a clip several years back of some poachers makin quick work of about a dozen elephants with a surplus BAR , a short burst and it was all over per animal, these guys could have put one of those to good use, esp. on the elephant.
