Director Göran Olsson has edited old Swedish news footage to bring us this film about the liberation struggles in Africa, specifically the use of violence on both sides – the solutions and the problems it brings about. The title comes from a chapter in Franz Fanon’s book ‘The Wretched of the Earth’, which is the glue which binds this film together. This is not going to be an easy ride, but it promises to make a thought-provoking session in the Alhambra and, no doubt, the discussions that will follow! The film is only 78 minutes long, so there will be plenty of time for these debates...

Concerning Violence - Sunday15th February 5pm
This Sunday we have the season's documentary - Concerning Violence. We are going through a time worldwide where documentaries are more and more popular. This does make it hard to choose though. This time we took the advice of the BFI's Sight and Sound magazine where this was chosen as one of the best 10 documentaries of the year.
