The film exhibits a series of sculptures, masks and other traditional art from Sub-Saharan Africa. The images are frequently set to music and cut to the music's pace. The narrator focuses on the emotional qualities of the objects, and discusses the perception of African sculptures from a historical and contemporary European perspective. Only occasionally does the film provide the geographical origin, time period or other contextual information about the objects. The idea of a dead statue is explained as a statue which has lost its original significance and become reduced to a museum object, similarly to a dead person who can be found in history books. Interweaved with the objects are a few scenes of Africans performing traditional music and dances, as well as the death of a disemboweled gorilla.

Actors René Vautier

Afrique 50 est le premier film anticolonialiste français. À l’origine, il s’agit d’une commande de la Ligue française de l’enseignement destinée à montrer aux élèves la mission éducative menée dans les colonies françaises d’Afrique de l'Ouest. Mais, sur place, le réalisateur, âgé de 21 ans seulement, décide de témoigner de la réalité : le manque de professeurs et de médecins, les crimes commis par l’armée française au nom du peuple français, l’instrumentalisation des populations colonisées… Le film fut interdit pendant plus de 40 ans et valut à René Vautier plusieurs mois d’emprisonnement.
