Congorilla (film)
Congorilla (1932) is a documentary film by Martin and Osa Johnson. The film follows the couple through Africa as they encounter animals that they characterize as threatening before a lengthy sequence with the couple with a pygmy community. This sequence is notorious for its racism and condescension towards the African people.[1]
It is considered one of the earliest ethnographic documentary films.
