SOUNDTRACK TO A COUP D'ETAT

Jazz and decolonization are entwined in this historical rollercoaster that rewrites the Cold War episode that ledmusicians Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach to crash the UN Security Council in protest against the murder of Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba. Featuring music as a protagonist, the film unearths the ground zero of the neo-colonial reality that has systematically sabotaged African self-determination up to today. Documentary feature.
