Goodbye Uncle Tom
Addio zio Tom
Two documentary filmmakers go back in time to the pre-Civil War American South, to film the slave trade.
Why it matters
A brutal, unflinching plunge into America's darkest chapter, framed as a pseudo-documentary that shreds any comfort in historical distance.
- Revolutionary use of found-footage style long before the mockumentary wave, blending fiction and documentary to shock the conscience.
- Graphic, unapologetic depictions of slavery’s horrors confront viewers with systemic brutality rarely shown so raw in 1970s cinema.
- Not for the faint of heart—its exploitation aesthetics and controversial approach spark debate about representation and voyeurism.
- Essential viewing for those interested in horror-adjacent shock cinema where social trauma becomes the true monstrous force.
