The Power of Political Engagement
An essayistic exploration of the rise and assassination of Patrice Lumumba, the Congo’s first Prime Minister. It provides a sobering look at the challenges of national liberation and the enduring impact of neo-colonialism.
Directed by Raoul Peck—the Haitian-born filmmaker behind Lumumba and I Am Not Your Negro—whose work consistently interrogates power, history, and imperial violence.
