We Come as Friends

The director of Darwin’s Nightmare returns to Africa to paint a picture of contemporary colonialism. 
A shocking account of the effects of modern colonialism on South Sudan, where Americans and Chinese are exploiting the land. 

While this brand-new country slowly but surely enters war, a procession of foreign investors explore opportunities for exploiting the territory under the pretext of bringing civilization. 

The honest stories from Sudanese people at the micro-level combine with encounters with U.N. staff and other ‘benefactors’ to create a shocking impression of modern colonialism and the impact of Western intervention on this part of Africa.
