Cameroun: Autopsie d'une Indépendance (2008)
Overview
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.
