Lumumba
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Raoul Peck, Raoul Peck
2001 / 115min / 35mm
The rousing, raging political thriller that made the international reputation of Haitian filmmaker Peck (I Am Not Your Negro), Lumumba tells the true story of the first Prime Minister of the Congo after its declaration of independence from Belgium, Patrice Lumumba: his visionary dream of a united Africa; the stiff opposition this gained him in Europe and the United States; and his tragic, terrible assassination after mere months in office. Anchored by a commanding lead performance from Eriq Ebouaney, Peck’s film fairly vibrates with anti-colonial ardor.
Introduction and Q&A with filmmaker Raoul Peck on Saturday, November 11th at 5:00pm
