How Good Are the Whites
Marco Ferreri: Beyond the Absurd
June 9 - 21, 2023
A humanitarian organization sends six trucks loaded up with supplies and provisions to combat starvation in the Sahel desert—but the true colors of the group’s volunteers are revealed when they yield to their pettiest, most selfish impulses.
A humanitarian organization sends six trucks loaded up with supplies and provisions to combat starvation in the Sahel desert in Africa. The latent grotesquerie of this familiar form of European interventionism is revealed when all the volunteers start to yield to their pettiest, most selfish impulses. The outrageous and incendiary How Good Are the Whites is a ruthless critique of all supposed goodwill deployed by wealthy countries as they exploit and destroy the African habitat.
