Event Details

Jazz and decolonisation are entwined in this historical rollercoaster that rewrites the Cold War episode that led musicians Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach to crash the UN Security Council in protest against the murder of Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba.
Johan Grimonprez “Soundtrack to a Coup d’État” (2024, 2h 30m) is a breathtaking, ideas-packed journey that weaves together American jazz and the geopolitical machinations of the 1950s and 60s.
