«Прощай, дядя Том» — псевдодокументалистика, в которой режиссеры возвращаются в прошлое и посещают рабовладельческий Американский Юг. Они рассматривают и исследуют в ярких графических деталях экстремально-невыносимые условия жизни негров, ставших рабами на американской земле. Жизнь раба изображена как безостановочная эксплуатация, насилие, пытки, издевательство, унижение, совершаемое белыми хозяевами. Авторы используют много документов того времени, поэтому показанное на экране очень близко к реальности.

Открывается он следующим, теперь уже классическим, текстом: «All the scenes you will see in this film are true and are taken only from life. If often they are shocking, it is because there are many shocking things in this world. Besides, the duty of the chronicler is not to sweeten the truth but to report it objectively.» После чего начинается революционное для тех времен повествование, построенное на постоянном контрасте. Начинается оно со сцены открытия галлюциногенного памятника самому известному «латинскому любовнику» Голливуда, Рудольфу Валентино (Rudolph Valentino), что открывает тему секса в фильме. Дальше авторы сравнивают «сексуальные ритуалы» современного Нью-Йорка, где наибольшее внимание женщин привлекает знаменитость, и жительниц архипелага Тробрианд, к востоку от Новой Гвинеи. Там родиться мужчиной - уже испытание, так как по достижению половой зрелости на них начинается настоящая охота.
