Thanks for sharing.

I like the anglicized Igbo accents in Mark of the Hawk, said to have been shot on location in Enugu and may have been inspired by Azikiwe who allegedly allowed them to shoot in his official Governor's residence:

i want to add: am watching TheMark of the Hawk. Truly colonial in its essence. anyone teaching colonialism should use it, along with robeson's Sanders of the River. it will make you and your students squirm, but it captures the spirit of the colonial past amazingly, naively as it were. 1957 movie.
