Lumumba

TVMA Time:116

He led his nation out of the wilderness after a century of foreign rule, but the forces that helped to shape his triumph were the same ones that would conspire to destroy him in this fact-based political thriller. This film relates the tragic rise-and-fall story of Patrice Lumumba, a young African nationalist who rose to become the first Prime Minister of the newly independent Congo in 1960. His ascent would be short-lived, however, as he fell victim to rival factions and foreign collusion after only two months in office. Eriq Ebouaney stars as Lumumba and provides a compelling biographical portrait of a charismatic and uncompromising man who was considered a visionary savior by many Congolese...but who was forced to make the ultimate sacrifice for his beliefs. Alex Descas, Theophile Moussa Sowie and Maka Kotto co-star. Directed by Raoul Peck, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Pascal Bonitzer. Dubbed/Subtitled.
