The Gods Must Be Crazy backdrop

The Gods Must Be Crazy 1980 Directed by Jamie Uys

The critics are raving... the natives are restless... and the laughter is non-stop!

A Coca-Cola bottle dropped from an airplane raises havoc among a normally peaceful tribe of African bushmen who believe it to be a utensil of the gods.
