What happens

Departure of Mr. Chamberlain for South Africa è un cortometraggio muto del 1902. Il nome del regista non viene riportato nei credit del film ma vi appare quello del produttore Cecil M. Hepworth come direttore della fotografia. Il Ministro delle Colonie Joseph Chamberlain visitò, dal 26 dicembre 1902 al 25 febbraio 1903, il Sudafrica per promuovere la conciliazione tra britannici e boeri dopo la fine della seconda guerra boera, pace stipulata il 31 maggio 1902. Il documentario di Hepworth mostra la partenza del ministro alla volta del paese africano. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
