Growing up in the sixties in America, the details of Four Hundred Years of Slavery were pretty much hidden from view. Of course the more well- read white boys had SOUL ON ICE by Eldridge Cleaver and THE CONFESSIONS OF NAT TURNER to whet their appetites for a more accurate take on the subject.This all changed in the Seventies with the mini- series ROOTS. Slavery was for the first time depicted in unflinching terms to the majority of clueless white Americans. Along with well- intentioned entertainment like ROOTS came the inevitable afterbirth…the exploitation tie- in.

ADIDO, ZIO TOM plays like a travelogue of slavery. Not much in the experience is missed…recreations of a slave market and and slave ship, slaves being put to perverse use, actors portraying slaves put to perverse use….filmed in Haiti and thanking Papa Doc in the credits, this vile piece of shit is bad karma even having it on your hard drive…

There's a great scene where a slave has his balls nipped off with horse pliers after he ruins the value of a bunch of virgins. There's a guy who likes to paint little naked black boys silver and gold. There's the breeder, god what a loathsome pig this fucker is…

This Italian monstrosity is a must- see for anyone who enjoys their exploitation films rough, who never wants to see an end to the degradation…

The film seems to be trying to whip up Charlie Manson's Helter Skelter. There's scenes of a hip young black man reading NAT TURNER and fantasizing about murdering a shit load of honkeys, and who could blame him?

Demand that this important film is screened in your local museum. Maybe it can finally start the race war that we've all been hoping for.
