I enjoyed this one way more than I expected. It's a somewhat better German drama that was the basis for this cut-and-paste exploitation job, but it actually works really well. It might be one of the most interesting cut-and-paste movies I've seen even. It's a well done adaptation of Uncle Tom's Cabin, but Adamson adds in some gritty rape, torture, and interracial sex. The new footage is almost a reaction against the original movie, showing the really really ugly side of slavery, and making the explicit interracial relationship the most normal one in the movie. He also puts a huge FU towards the original with the new ending. After Tom dies and forgives the slavers for a good Christian forgiveness narative, Adamson says fuck that and ends things with a lynching of the rapists slavers. It's kind of awesome in it's mean spiritedness and anger.
