Something of Value

1h 53m
Drama, War
Richard Brooks
As Kenya's Mau Mau uprising tears the country apart, former childhood friends Kimani (Sidney Poitier), a native, and Peter (Rock Hudson), a British colonist, find themselves on opposite sides of the struggle in this provocative drama. Though each is devoted to his cause, both wish for a more moderate path -- but their hopes for a peaceful resolution are thwarted by rage, colonial arrogance and escalating violence on both sides.
Your take
Feels most like The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell, Cast a Giant Shadow and The One That Got Away
