Under House Arrest (1981)
The president of an African country is closely allied with European entrepreneurs for his own benefit and theirs. The sky falls on their heads when a political essay on "The Political Structures of Traditional Power" is published. To make matters worse, the military gets involved. The president, whose party ruled unchallenged (single-party system), finds himself under house arrest.
