Because Sauper views himself as a storyteller first, as political as 'We Come as Friends' may be, it is always dramatic, never didactic.

The sobering message of the film is that independence doesn?t really mean anything in Africa if you?ve got resources that richer countries have an interest in and a general population that remains woefully poor and uneducated.

A masterfully composed and suitably outraged look at the neocolonialist exploitation of South Sudan.

'We Come As Friends' is observational, while the institutions Sauper is watching here are actively tampering with Sudanese customs, in the name of improving their economy and living conditions.
