Once l'd grown accustomed to Raoul Pecks narration style (similar to Werner Herzog), l really enjoyed 'Exterminate all the Brutes' his four part documentary and history of colonisation, racism, imperialism, warfare and eugenics. Maybe enjoy is the wrong term to use, as it's also pretty harrowing and depressing, despite the fact that l knew most of the information beforehand, and agreed with what Peck was saying. It's also a timely reminder that a lot of the atrocities are being re-enacted in the present, and as he states in the documentary, people know, but choose to ignore it or justify it. Well worth four hours of your time.
