We Come As Friends


documentary, Austria, France, 105 min, 2015
in original language with English and French subtitles

Show times:

Director: Hubert Sauper

We Come as Friends is a science fiction-like odyssey in a home-made flying machine. Set in central Africa, it explores a ‘civilizing’ pathology that transcends the news headlines - colonialism, imperialism, and holy wars over resources. This documentary leads us into improbable locations and into people’s thoughts, both stunning and heartbreaking. If “history does not repeat itself, but does rhyme”, We Come as Friends is a modern recital - of old and rather sinister verses.
