Trailer

Jazz and decolonisation are interweaved in this historical montanha-russa, which re-writes an episode of the Cold War when musicians Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach invaded the Security Council of the UN in protest against the assassination of Patrice Lumumba — who led the independence and became President of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Special Jury Prize for Cinematographic Innovation Sundance 2024.
