1934 - Belgique - Noir & Blanc - 60'
Parched Land was indeed a very ambitious project: revealing "true" Africa, rigorously and sincerely, independently too. Showing nature and men caught and merged together in the same poetic impetus. The hyperbolic comment by Paul Werrie, a radio journalist of that time, stresses the author’s premise, in a lyrically biological text, which sometimes borders on fascist thought.
