""Allez dans le monde entier, proclamez l'Évangile à toute la création." Au nom de ce précepte biblique, des chrétiens sont partis prêcher l'Évangile et convertir au christianisme les peuples du monde entier. Convaincus de la supériorité de la civilisation européenne, ils ont, pour la très grande majorité d'entre eux, accompagné et soutenu la colonisation en Afrique. En s'emparant de ce paradoxe, Jean-Marie Teno montre la dialectique entre éthique chrétienne et intérêts marchands avec, pour conséquence, le traumatisme des colonisés et les préjugés des colonisateurs."
"The filmmaker looks at European colonialism in Africa through the lens of Christian evangelism as the model for the relationship between Africa and western countries today. The history of German missionaries in Namibia in the 19th and 20th centuries is discussed by African and German historians and theologians, revealing how colonialism destroyed African beliefs and social systems and replaced them with European ones."
"Le cinéaste se penche sur le colonialisme européen en Afrique à travers le prisme de l'évangélisation chrétienne comme le modèle de la relation entre l'Afrique et es pays occidentaux d'aujourd'hui. L'histoire des missionnaires allemands à Namibie dans les 19e et 20e siècles est discutée par les historiens et les théologiens africains et allemands , révélant comment le colonialisme a détruit les croyances africaines et les systèmes sociaux et les a remplacer par celles de l'Europe."
"Indiqué sur la jaquette : "S'emparant de ce paradoxe, Jean-Marie Teno considère ce chapitre complexe de l'histoire de l'humanité. Il met en lumière la relation entre éthique chrétienne et intérêts marchands, ainsi que ses conséquences, toujours actuelles : le traumatisme des colonisés et la persistance des préjugés des colonisateurs. Il confronte les analyses d'historiens et chercheurs africains et européens avec celles du personnel des missions, et livre des témoignages bouleversants sur la colonisation et ses effets en Afrique aujourd'hui.""
""Le Malentendu Colonial looks at European colonialism in Africa through the lens of Christian evangelism, indeed as the model for the relationship between North and South even today. The film scrutinizes in particular the role of German missionaries in Namibia on the centenary of the 1904 German genocide of the Herrero people. It reveals how colonialism destroyed African beliefs and social systems and replaced them with European ones as if they were the only acceptable routes to modernity."--Distributor's abstract."

"Sheds light on the complex and problematic relationship between colonization and European missionaries on the African continent. The film looks at Christian evangelism as the forerunner of European colonialism in Africa, indeed, as the ideological model for the relationship between North and South even today. In particular it looks at the role of missionaries in Namibia on the centenary of the 1904 German genocide of the Herrero people there. It reveals how colonialism destroyed African beliefs and social systems and replaced them with European ones as if they were the only acceptable routes to modernity. As Prof. F. Kangué Ewané says in the film: "I can forgive Westerners for taking away my land ...but not for taking away my mind and soul." Through an examination of the work of German missionary societies in Africa whose vocation was to bring Christianity -- and by extension, European culture and European rule -- to the heathens, Jean Marie Teno reveals The Colonial Misunderstanding."
