Actually,Guinness, if you check back you'll find the British DIDN'T do it first.The term 'concentration camp' meant just that- to concentrate the Boers in controlled areas. The results were wrong until civilian control was installed at the insistance of the British government, when the death rate dropped to about 2%,not bad even for the population of London in those days.They were NEVER extermination camps!
The Americans, those pillars of freedom and democracy,beat us to it by about 66 years when they imprisoned the Indian tribes(I think it was the Cherokee) in camps,murdered and raped many of them and intentionally let many starve to death.They did the same in the Philippine war of independance in 1899,same results.Other did the same.

As for the film,whoever wrote and directed it,where was it made?
