残酷飢餓大陸
Cruel Famine Continent documents the Great Sahelian drought in West Africa and its effect on the people.

Theatrical proceeds were to be shared as relief funds through the Japanese Red Cross, though the box office returns are unknown. Footage shot for the documentary by Yoshimitsu Banno would later be reused in the 1974 Toho production Prophecies of Nostradamus.
