The meeting between the ideas and culture the British took overseas, and those they encountered, is a recurring theme of Empire. Nowhere was this clash more dramatic than in Africa where the British took tremendous belief in their way of life, and were often baffled by African ways. To Africans, the laws, rituals and costumes of the British seemed strange. Yet British values were adopted - or adapted - while others were rejected. This film, the third set in Africa, is about the meeting of two worlds.
