Addio Zio Tom (Goodbye, Uncle Tom) is a 1971 film directed by Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi and features music by Riz Ortolani.
Addio Zio Tom is a pseudo documentary where the filmmakers go back in time and visit the American South during the slave era, and examines, in graphic detail, the degrading conditions faced by Africans brought as slaves to the United States.
The Directors' cut of Addio Zio Tom draws explicit links between the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s and pre-Civil War South.
American distributors felt that these particular scenes were too incendinary, and thus Jacopetti and Prosperi were forced to remove over 13 minutes of race-war politics and inserting alternate scenes for the US/English speaking market.
