Why this film didn't shock the world? Why these scenes are completely unknown?

Actually, I didn't even know there's a country called Zanzibar. (I thought it's a fictional place from the Metal Gear universe.) And I thought I know all the countries.

Their is no country called Zanzibar. Zanzibar is part of Tanzania. It was briefly an independent country (1963-64) until it joined with Tanganyika and formed Tanzania.

His family left Zanzibar during the Revolution as they were scared of being massacred. Freddie had alrady been sent to school in India though.

I agree. It's stupid how the Zanzibar genocide is completely unknown. They killed almost all the Arabs and Indians in just a few days. It's rare that killing has proceeded so quickly.
