"Karamoja (1954) is a controversial and exploitative documentary that claims to offer a raw and unfiltered look at the isolated Karamoja region of Uganda and its indigenous people. Directed by William B. Treutle and produced by Kroger Babb, the film sensationalizes the traditional customs, rituals, and lifestyles of the Karamojong people, often depicting them through a Western colonial lens. Blending travelogue-style narration with shock-value imagery, Karamoja aligns with the mid-century "mondo" documentary trend, presenting exoticized portrayals of non-Western cultures. Though criticized for its exploitative nature, the film remains a historical curiosity in the realm of ethnographic cinema and exploitation filmmaking."
