Alexei Aigui (The Truth, Locust, Test) has recently scored the new HBO hybrid docu-series Exterminate All the Brutes. The show is written and directed by Raoul Peck (Sometimes in April) and follows the filmmaker as he deconstructs the making and masking of history, focusing on the exploitative and genocidal aspects of European colonialism – from America to Africa and its impact on society today. The 4-parter reframes and revisits the meaning of the Native American genocide and American slavery and their fundamental implications for our present. Josh Hartnett plays the lead role in the scripted portions of the film.
