Lumumba (2000)

The rise to power, reign and assassination of Patrice Lumumba, the first Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is the subject of Raoul Peck's 2000 movie Lamumba.

We discuss the complex and facinating history behind the movie and discuss everything from Eriq Ebouaney's fine performance to anachronistic airplanes.
