Fascinating if exploitative, 2 October 2004
Author: John Seal from Oakland CA

Like many of the 'mondo' films made in the wake of the smash success of Mondo Cane (1962), The Slave Trade In the World Today treads a thin line between muckraking journalism and lascivious voyeurism. Begun by one of the godfathers of the genre, Folco Quilici, and completed by the Malenotti brothers, Slave Trade includes some gut wrenching and heartbreaking footage of young Africans in bondage. It also includes an inordinate amount of footage of topless women, and even when those women do not seem to be posing for the camera, the camera lingers on their breasts, especially if their owners are engaged in a dance or ceremony that involves shaking. There's also belly dancing, exotic dancing, and strip tease, none of which have much to do with slavery. Nonetheless, the film manages to maintain a serious air and ends with some fascinating and moving footage of west Africans paying homage to their brothers and sisters sold into slavery across the Atlantic.
