Lumumba, le retour d'un héros

Spoken: French

Subtitles: Dutch

61 years after his assassination, Patrice Lumumba returns to the Democratic Republic of Congo. Or, as one of his children says, the Congo returns to the Congo. Lumumba was assassinated with two of his closest associates, in the midst of the Cold War and during the wave of African independence. Only one tooth seems to have survived the passage of their bodies in acid, an act committed by a Belgian police officer. This film recounts the highly political celebrations of the return of Lumumba's remains, but above all seeks to find out what remains of Patrice Lumumba, in the Congo and in Belgium. So far, his murder and those of Okito and Mpolo remain unpunished.
