good movie and acting be terrific especially from eriq ebouaney ( lumumba ) and very well direct . it also show how lumumba be corner by the belgian and u s a and united nation and how they label him a ` communist to scare people a they do to all the honest true african leader like nkrumah and kenyatta and nyerere and many others . it show how western country preach democracy while they have something else on the back of their mind . it be a story of injustice and struggle and brutality . it show how lumumba couldn not control his people and yes they be his people and but before we put the blame on him and be he get enough if any from the people he appoint in his government like mobutu . or his colleague have other thing in their mind and to find out go and see the movie . certainly mobutu do and go on to loot the country for the next 35 yr and before he be overthrow and flee the country . die a billionaire . some flaws represent there be too little explanation how the man ( lumumba ) get to rise in the first place . also there should have be more explanation about the country and congo kinshasa ( after independence ) and now know a democratic republic of congo formerly know a zaire when it be under mobutu . there should have be an explanation why he ( lumumba ) couldn not keep the second large country in africa in one piece . and also what be go on with tshombe and katanga . just head up if you gon na watch the movie tshombe be control the katanga region which ( if i be not mistake ) be the number one copper producer in the world . in all it be a good movie to see . you will learn something new about africa and it leader and it people and probably will open your eye why this continent be ridden with war .
