Partice Lumumba, the hero of Congo’s independence is just thirty years old when the first tremors of failed decolonization drive him to the forefront of the international political scene. From being a local public servant at the Stanleyville post office, to serving several prison terms in the space of a few years (1957-1960), the most vilified man of the cold war period. As prime minister of the richest country in Africa, his fate as a tragic hero is mapped out.
