Flammen über Afrika (1957)
Im Kenia der Kolonialzeit haben die ehemaligen Spielgefährten Peter McKenzie (Rock Hudson) und Kimani (Sidney Poitier) ihre tiefe Freundschaft trotz aller Rassen-, Klassen- und Traditionsunterschiede bewahrt. Doch dann erschüttern die blutigen Mau-Mau-Aufstände die wunderschöne Heimat der Beiden. Und die Männer merken, dass selbst das stärkste Band unter dem Einfluss der Trommeln, Schüsse und dem Schrei nach Freiheit zu zerreißen droht.
