Mixes safari footage with exploitation/ shock footage (tame by today's standards) as most Mondos do, and emerges as one of the better jungle Mondos, as it contrasts life in larger African cities, with life in the bush, in Uganda, near the equator, in the filmmakers' (alleged) quest to locate a witch doctor who performs open-skull surgery on conscious patients.
Putrid blood-and-gore ending brought to mind the old line about, "It's not the destination, it's the journey", and made me regret the witchdoctor had been found, and the film's dubbed narration grew tiresome, making this an above average, though still not a *good* Mondo.
