Lumumba (2000)
La verdadera historia del ascenso al poder y el brutal asesinato de Patrice Lumumba, líder del Congo independiente, antes vilipendiado y posteriormente redimido. Basándose en evidencia histórica recién descubierta, el guionista y director Raoul Peck, nacido en Haití y posteriormente criado en el Congo, presenta un relato emotivo y conciso sobre este empleado de correos y vendedor de cerveza, con un don para la oratoria y una firme convicción en la capacidad de su patria para construir una nación próspera e independiente de sus antiguos amos belgas. Lumumba emerge aquí como el heroico chivo expiatorio, retratado de forma dudosa por los medios internacionales y llevado al sacrificio por intereses comerciales y políticos en Bélgica, Estados Unidos, la comunidad internacional y su propia administración; una historia real de intriga política y asesinato donde entidades políticas, capitanes del comercio y el ejército se unen en su búsqueda de la hegemonía económica y política.
