Lumumba, le retour d'un héros

61 years after his assassination, Patrice Lumumba returns to the Democratic Republic of Congo. Or, as one of his children put it, the Congo returns to the Congo. Lumumba was assassinated with two of his closest collaborators, at the height of the Cold War and during the wave of African independence. Only one tooth seems to have survived the acid treatment, carried out by a Belgian police officer. This film tells the story of the highly political celebrations for the return of Lumumba's remains, but above all seeks to find out what remains of Patrice Lumumba, in the Congo and in Belgium. So far, his murder and those of Okito and Mpolo have gone unpunished.
