1961年东非小国乌干达开始逐渐脱离英国的殖民主义控制而独立,本片记录下那段时期乌干达国内的社会现状和政治变革。拍摄此片的是哥伦比亚大学的一位社会学教授,在前往乌干达作西方殖民研究时拍摄的资料,原本只想自己保留,但回国后还是决定剪辑成一部影片。Segall, a professor of Psychology at Columbia, here investigates the impact of Western Civilization on Uganda, in the area of Mbarara, Ankole region (Ba-nyankole people). Scenes include a traditional wedding and the making of plantain beer. Segall originally traveled to Uganda for the purpose of making a sociological study, but decided to craft his footage into a film upon returning to the U.S.. This remarkable work is the only film Segall ever made.
