Talk:Roger Casement

Source
Are these actual quotes of the person, or is the source a dramatization? ~ Ningauble (talk) 22:36, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Ningauble Good question, the Documentary literally quotes Roger Casement, its not a play by actors if you mean that, it's a spoken quote, and it shows also a source on the screen when it is spoken, and the documentary is based on Adam Hochschild's famous book, King Leopold's ghost so i assume it's legit...

 * I think they are wide of the mark.  I suspect the film is a dramatization of the book.  I have not read the book, though I have read a lot of Roger Casement's report to Parliament.  I think also here is some confusion over terms, "Bula Matadi", according to Casement is "Men of the Government" in Kongo, as distinct from "Bula Mutari" Stanley's epithet and epitaph. (A Dictionary of African Politics ascribes the latter the meaning of the former, confusingly.)  I will try to find a copy of the book to check the references.  Rich Farmbrough (talk)
