Movies set in post-Colonial Africa?
Other than Black Hawk Down, Todesspiel, Blood Diamond and The Last King of Scotland, what are some other movies that focus on social/political instability in post-Colonial Africa?

I had posted "Cry Freedom," but it sounds like you're more interested in African civil-wars-type movies from reading your post. Does apartheid-era South Africa count? I'm sure there are other movies with that setting, but I can't think of other titles.
