The film, photographed in technicolor on the banks of the Ituri River in Central Africa, reveals one of the few remaining wild animal reservations in the world.

It is an area where man and his guns have never dared venture. Against backgrounds never before captured on film, the untamed life of African big game unfolds. In a world that seems at times weirdly pre-historic and inhabited by strange unearthly creatures, man-killing animals are shown stalking a primitive tribe. Whole herds on the hoof have been captured in a mass stampede while primitive native rites and ceremonies are revealed for the first time before civilized man’s cameras. The film goes on to show how mankind has multiplied over the African continent in the last two centuries, while ruthlessly destroying the animal population by the hundreds of thousands. The thrilling jungle battles in which the proud jungle beasts defend themselves against Man have been imaginatively and sympathetically photographed in an authentic setting—the last virgin sanctuary of the untamed and the unafraid. As a result, ‘“Bambuti” has been awarded the Federal Film Prize for oustanding camera work and color photography, along with two first prizes at the 1956 Berlin International Film Festival.
