This film tells the story of the early history of the indepent Congo. The year is 1960. Congo is no different to the rest of Africa -seeking independence from colonial powers. In this case, the principal political figure is the charismatic Patrice Lumumba, seeking to liberate his country from the political and economic clutches of Belgium. Lumumba's party hansomely wins democratic elections, and he is appointed Prime Minister as part of a coalition government involving the other main political party. The Belgians however, retain control of the vital organs of state administration, and Lumumba soon attracts powerful enemies as he resists this sham independence. In the culmination of plots, counterplots, and betrayals, Lumumba is assassinated,

leaving the door open for one Joseph Mobutu to take over and drag the Democratic Republic of the Congo into three decades of stark poverty from which it is only now beginnning to recover.
