Ingagi (1931)
Ingagi is a 1930 Pre-Code exploitation film. It purports to be a documentary of Sir Hubert Winstead of London on an expedition to Africa, and it concerns a tribe of gorilla-worshiping women encountered by the explorer. It was produced and distributed by Nat Spitzer's Congo Pictures, formed expressly to make this film. While marketed under the pretense of an ethnographic film, the premise was fabricated, leading the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors Association to retract any involvement with the film. The film claimed to show a ritual where African women were given over to gorillas as sex slaves, but instead was mostly filmed in Los Angeles using white actresses in black-face in place of natives.
