FILM & DISCUSSION

Lumumba

Discussion with Elombe Brath

Dir. Raoul Peck | 2001 | 115 mins | France / Belgium / Haiti / Germany | In French and Lingala with English subtitles

Made in the tradition of such true-life political thrillers as Malcolm X and JFK, Raoul Peck’s award-winning epic dramatizes the rise and fall of legendary African leader Patrice Lumumba. When the Congo declared its independence from Belgium in 1960, the 36-year-old Lumumba became the first Prime Minister of the newly independent state but would last just months in office before being brutally assassinated.
