Contents

1954 Mau Mau

There was a 19-minute 1954 film made by a South African company, African Film Productions. [2]

According to the Colonial Film website, "As a documentary made at the height of the Mau Mau uprising, there is much to interest both the colonial and film historian within Mau Mau. Stylistically, the film combines staged sequences with documentary footage, containing shocking images of dead African bodies alongside dramatised scenes, for example showing oath ceremonies." [2]

1955 Mau Mau

Mau Mau was a 1955 American documentary film directed by Elwood Price with narration by Chet Huntley.
