Patrice Lumumba, elected prime minister of the Congo in the 60’s, was brutally murdered in one of the darkest episodes of the country’s decolonization. He returns in this documentary to haunt Belgium, as the hero of a History that almost seems to be a legend. Amidst encounters, conversations, celebrations and emotive visits, we accompany the journey of a belgian citizen who was in Elisabethville at the time, as he exorcizes ghosts. Bach’s St. John Passion plays in the background as aspects of colonialism emerge from the biopolitical framing, along with questions of duty and responsability. History and politics aside, the film shares the personal memories of a family, as the director takes us too on a raw yet poetic trip to another side of Belgium. (Ágata Pinho)
