Hubert Sauper's documentary is about colonialism that never really stopped. He flies from France in a single-engine plane and lands, 4,500km later, in South Sudan. His film buzzes from tribal warriors to US investors, revealing all sides. Chinese oil workers glug Pepsi and lecture on western imperialism.
