Review of Lumumba (2000)

This is a compelling movie whose harsh truths we prefer to forget…

Review of Lumumba (2000)

By Kelly Vance (1,015) for East Bay Express (1,012) on 10 Aug 2011

Review of Lumumba (2000)

By Isabelle Z (1) on 18 Jan 2011

Review of Lumumba (2000)

Helps if you know something about the Congo, its history, and the major players before you see this movie…

Review of Lumumba (2000)

This is what an Oliver Stone movie would be if Stone wasn't a complete retard…

Review of Lumumba (2000)

By Twahi S (15) on 30 Nov 2008

Shame the movie had not explored more of the growth of Lumumba's life towards politics. But his actor does a good job of expressing Lumumba's passion…

His brutal murder in 1960 has turned out to be one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century…

Review of Lumumba (2000)

Wow...HUGE disappointment. I can summarize: Lumumba was an absolute saint who never did or said anything that showed human fallibility…

If only there could be a well-made movie for every African country with the same or similar stories…
