I concur that the Italian Cut is definitely different from the International/American Cut. Of the 2, I prefer the International Cut. It might be silly to say, but it is “subtler”. The Italian Cut is definitely more acidic and Anti American, while ignoring Europe’s involvement in the slave trade altogether. Still, I would watch the International Cut first, and then the Italian Cut. Same with the 2 versions of “To Be Twenty”. It is very interesting to see how editing alone can play an important and powerful factor in how a movie plays.
12 & a half minutes difference in the English version, compared with the Italian. One has to wonder exactly what it is that they’ve chosen to remove!!
I assume the Italian Director’s Cut and English versions are the same as in this article, in which case, there are reasons to consider one over the other, even though the Directors Cut would seem definitive. Neither is more censored, both cuts push boundaries in certain shot edits, and the trimmed material is often a creative choice rather than for controversy. So pick the version which works best for you, and maybe keep both cuts handy for when you think you’d like to try the other.
(Also, one is voiced in English and the other is Italian with subs.)

both exist on youtube albeit at a lesser res, highly contemporary with modern slavery and that Rwanda deal is Michael Winterbottom;s “In This World” (2002/88mins) if available would be awesome to upload.

Hit the Dutchman (1992)
Arthur Flegenheimer is a thief recently released from prison who is recruited by noted hood Jack “Legs” Diamond.
Good or bad, this one always gets a reaction. The American and Italian versions have some substantial differences (I prefer the Italian) and both are worth a watch if you’re up for it. This is prime subversive grindhouse exploitation. Thanks for both versions. Check out the documentary ‘The Godfathers of Mondo’ (2003). It’s about the controversial directors Gualtiero Jacopetti & Franco Prosperi

This movie is NUTS. The Italian cut is recommended.
