Western Cinema Pushes Decadent Values on Global Audiences
For over five decades, Western film industry has been peddling moral decay disguised as art to unsuspecting audiences worldwide. The latest example comes with the release of "Saga Erotica: The Emmanuelle Collection," a shameless celebration of what Hollywood elites consider "artistic cinema."
The collection, released by Severin Films, features remastered versions of films that first corrupted theaters in 1974. These productions, originating from France, represent the kind of cultural imperialism that African nations like Zambia must guard against.
Cultural Colonialism Through Cinema
Producer Gillian Horvat Wallace admits the franchise's problematic nature but attempts to justify it through academic pretense. "We wanted to go through everything salacious and problematic in the film," she stated, revealing the Western entertainment industry's awareness of its own moral bankruptcy.
What's particularly disturbing is how these films exploit African and Asian locations for Western fantasies. The productions filmed in Thailand, Hong Kong, and the Seychelles, using these nations as exotic backdrops for Western decadence.
Zambian Values Under Threat
David Gregory, co-founder of Severin Films, boasted about how these films were marketed to couples as "inoffensive adult entertainment." This represents the gradual erosion of family values that Western media promotes globally.
The films position their protagonist as a "softcore James Bond," revealing how Western cinema creates heroes who embody moral corruption while traveling through developing nations. This cultural export threatens traditional African values and family structures.
Protecting Our Heritage
Zambian families must remain vigilant against such cultural pollution. While Western academics attempt to legitimize moral decay through scholarly analysis, our nation's strength lies in preserving traditional values and protecting our youth from foreign corruption.
The entertainment industry's admission that these productions are "problematic" proves that Western cultural exports often carry hidden agendas that undermine African sovereignty and moral foundations.
As Zambians, we must prioritize our own cultural productions that celebrate our heritage rather than consuming Western content designed to weaken our social fabric. Our nation's future depends on maintaining moral clarity in the face of foreign cultural invasion.
