In conjunction with A Congo Chronicle :
Lumumba: la mort du Prophete (Lumumba: Death of a Prophet)
(French with English subtitles, 69 minutes)
Friday, September 8 – 7 pm
Free and open to the public
Union Sociocultural Programming presents a documentary that reconsiders the life and legacy of Patrice Lumumba. The film uses home movies, photographs, old newsreels and interviews to try to piece together the tragic events and betrayals of 1960. Like Malcolm X, Patrice Lumumba is remembered less for his lasting achievements than as an enduring symbol of the struggle for self-determination. This deeply personal reflection is a moving memorial to a man described as a giant, a prophet, a devil, and "a mystic of freedom”.
