C.S.A.: The Confederate States Of America (2004)

Set in an contemporary alternative world where the Confederate States of America managed to win the American Civil War, a British film documentary examines the history of this nation. Beginning with its conquest of the northern states, the film covers the history of this state where racial enslavement became triumphant and the nation carried sinister designs of conquest. Interspersed throughout are various TV commercials of products of a virulent racist nature as well as public service announcements promoting this tyranny. Only at the end do you learn that there is less wholly imagined material in the film than you might suspect as alternative hilarity ensues.

Trivia: The footage of the "JBU terrorist attack" was actually news reel footage from when a B-25 bomber accidentally crashed into the Empire State Building. The end of the film contains a segment that explains which parts of the proposed alternate timeline are based on actual history; specifically, many of the products shown in the faux-"commercial breaks" are indeed real products that were advertised from the turn of the century up until the 1980s in the U.S. Some of these real products include:

Coon Chicken Inn was a small restaurant chain founded by Maxon Lester Graham and Adelaide Burt in 1925, which prospered until the late 1950s. The restaurant's name, logos, and trademarks are examples of Jim Crow-era advertising and business practices. The entrances of the restaurants were designed to look like a smiling blackface caricature of an African-American porter. The smiling capped porter head became the restaurant's logo and appeared on menus, dishes, and promotional items.

Darlie ("black man") is a toothpaste brand of the Hong Kong based company Hawley & Hazel. It was bought in 1985 by the US corporation Colgate-Palmolive. At that time the original name was "Darkie". Darky, or darkie, is a racist term used primarily in the Southern United States to refer to black people. The package featured an image said to have been inspired by an Al Jolson performance, that of a wide-eyed, smiling dark-skinned African male wearing a top hat and tie. Some have described it as a blackface image. Because of the contrast with very dark skin, it was a common joke that the teeth of persons of African descent were exceptionally white.

Well, hmm, interesting. This is part mockumentary and part fictional documentary. Imagine that the South won the Civil War. What would have happened. Well, according to this film, Lincoln tried to escape to Canada in blackface with Harriot Tubman, we took over South America, now called Southern America, the black are still slaves, as well as the Chinese who came over to help build our railroad system, the Mexicans are not slaves, but they are segregated, we restarted the slave trade, we didn't support Hitler, but we also agreed not to interfere, we launched a surprise attack on Japan on December 7th, 1941, we built a wall along the entire border between the CSA and Canada, and so on. You really see the mocking part of the film in the "commercial breaks." It really did a good job presenting itself as a documentary, it was just very strange.
