The film deeply and truly reflects the relationship between Britain and its former colonies in the post-colonial era. Kenya, in our opinion, may be very strange. However, for the British, talking about Kenya may be like talking about our province. Numerous literary works, films and cultural elements are all from Kenya. Familiar movie works, such as "Out of Africa"; literary works, such as "Night Sailing Westward", are all based in Kenya. If the above record still reflects the daily life of the ruler during the British colonial period, or at the same time reveals a corner of the life of African tribes during the colonial period, the narrative is still the discourse of the colonial period. However, this film directly refers to the crimes of the post-colonial period. In the post-colonial period, Britain and Kenya (or Africa) are no longer the relationship between the suzerainty and the colony. In the positive discourse narrative, developed countries such as the United Kingdom help Africa develop through international aid and national development projects. The reality is that Africa is getting poorer and more dependent on aid, with neither an industrial system nor a perfect market. Where is the problem? I used to think that this is the paradox of development aid itself. The more aid, the less the country’s ability to build capacity. Instead, it relies on aid and cannot develop effectively. Or, because of government corruption, aid has become a tool for local officials to squeeze their pockets. neither. The root of the real problem is that the developed countries clamp down on the development of Africa, intending to permanently turn Africa into their own "colony", continue to plunder cheap natural resources, and dump their own goods and garbage. Deprived of the ability to develop is deprived of the right to speak. Africa that cannot develop can only be slaughtered by others. Multinational companies can dump rubbish and waste here without assuming any responsibility. In order to maintain the jobs and other benefits of some developed countries, second-hand clothing and expired medicines are continuously shipped to Africa. In particular, the film exposes a more shameful crime in reality-experimenting with new drugs. Because the country is poor and weak, it becomes a profit-making tool for others, and it becomes a guinea pig in the laboratory. Africans do not have the concept of human rights, because they neither know how to respect others nor protect themselves. The author of "A Brief History of Mankind" believes that human rights are also our fictitious concepts, which only exist in the minds of certain people. However, Africa does not even have the right to choose whether to accept or not accept human rights. They are programmed to be driven by livelihood, for that whatever that will give them money to survive. The saddest thing is that once Africa has truly developed, it will fall into the trap of modernity in an instant. Desires driven by commodities and advertisements will become a new prison for people. Development is really the biggest scam.
