Shot in Technicolor on location in Tanganyika after production was delayed three years by wartime disruption, including U-boat damage to camera stock in transit, this British drama follows an African music student who returns home to confront a witch doctor's hold over his tribe.
Fun fact: Conceived in 1943 as a wartime propaganda project to justify British colonial policy in Africa, the film was not released until 1946, and much of its surviving footage was ultimately shot indoors at Denham Studios after location material was lost or degraded.
