Overview

The true story of the rise to power and brutal assassination of the formerly vilified and later redeemed leader of the independent Congo, Patrice Lumumba. Using newly discovered historical evidence, Haitian-born and later Congo-raised writer and director Raoul Peck renders an emotional and tautly woven account of the mail clerk and beer salesman with a flair for oratory and an uncompromising belief in the capacity of his homeland to build a prosperous nation independent of its former Belgian overlords. Lumumba emerges here as the heroic sacrificial lamb dubiously portrayed by the international media and led to slaughter by commercial and political interests in Belgium, the United States, the international community, and Lumumba's own administration; a true story of political intrigue and murder where political entities, captains of commerce, and the military dovetail in their quest for economic and political hegemony.

Lumumba

Taglines

Overview

Patrice Lumumba, héros de l’indépendance congolaise, n’a pas trente ans lorsque les premiers soubresauts d’une décolonisation bâclée le propulsent sur le devant de la scène politique internationale. De fonctionnaire indigène au bureau de poste de Stanleyville, en passant plusieurs séjours en prison pour vol ou pour incitation au désordre, il deviendra en l’espace de quelques années l’homme le plus vilipendé de cette période intensive de la guerre froide. Période qui a mené le monde au bord d’un conflit mondial. Devenu Premier Ministre de l’un des pays les plus riches d’Afrique, son destin de héros tragique était tout tracé, son assassinat dès lors programmé. Il ne restera que trois mois au pouvoir. Ses assassins n’avaient plus alors qu’à faire disparaître son corps.

Overview

A verdadeira história da ascensão ao poder e do assassinato brutal do anteriormente difamado e posteriormente redimido líder do Congo independente, Patrice Lumumba. Usando evidências históricas recém-descobertas, o escritor e diretor nascido no Haiti e mais tarde criado no Congo, Raoul Peck, apresenta um relato emocionante e tenso do funcionário dos correios e vendedor de cerveja com um talento para a oratória e uma crença intransigente na capacidade de sua terra natal para construir uma nação próspera independente dos seus antigos senhores belgas. Lumumba surge aqui como o heróico cordeiro sacrificial retratado de forma duvidosa pela mídia internacional e levado ao abate por interesses comerciais e políticos na Bélgica, nos Estados Unidos, na comunidade internacional e na própria administração de Lumumba; uma história verídica de intriga política e assassinato, onde entidades políticas, capitães do comércio e militares se articulam em sua busca pela hegemonia econômica e política.
