Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat
In SOUNDTRACK TO A COUP D’ETAT, Johan Grimonprez entwines history, politics, and especially music into a vibrant collage. Jazz classics, archival footage, and literary voices guide you through the fall of Patrice Lumumba and the turbulent struggle for Congolese independence. The rhythmic editing gives the past a new impetus, sharply exposing the hidden power dynamics behind colonialism, the Cold War, and contemporary resource conflicts.
Grimonprez delivers an urgent, immersive film experience in which music becomes the engine of insight and resistance. A visually and sonically powerful documentary that will captivate you.
This film screening is part of the brand new PULSE MUSIC FILM FESTIVAL (22-25 January).
