The author analyses the representation of British colonies in Africa in film. With great attention to detail, he presents the history of this topic, not only in British cinema, but also in Australian cinema (which doubtless is far more critical). He considers decade by decade, how the colonies were presented in film, with special reference to social sensitivity and awareness of the given era and ideology which defined various cinematic projects, but which were also reflected by them. In his analysis, the author also considers films by indigenous Africans and their insider's view of the history of their land, so as not to present only a one sided, outsider's view of the colonies.
