- The true story of controversial leader of independent Congo Patrice Lumumba.
- Documentary about African political leader Patrice Lumumba, who was Prime Minister of Zaire (now Congo) when he was assassinated in 1961.
- As his fate was decided, Patrice Lumumba decided to write a letter to his wife, as a token of the promise he had made to himself about his country and his people.
- 61 years after his assassination, Patrice Lumumba returns to his country. "Congo returns to Congo" as one of his children said. Lumumba was a nationalist leader who intended to use his country's enormous wealth for the benefit of his people. He became the first Prime Minister in the history of Congo on June 30, 1960, when the country gained its independence after 80 years of Belgian colonial rule. Seven months later, he was assassinated in Katanga province with two of his best political allies: Joseph Okito and Maurice Mpolo. Their bodies were dissolved in sulfuric acid and only one of Patrice Lumumba's teeth remained. This "relic" was taken from Lumumba's corpse and kept in secret by a police commissioner until his death in 2000. The assassination of the nationalist and anti-colonialist leader was followed by the advent of the dictator Mobutu, who was able to remain in place until 1997, thanks to Western support. These events had a gigantic impact on the history of Congo, and still shake the country today. Historical research has proven that Belgium, the United States, the United Nations all played a role in the murders of Lumumba, Okito and Mpolo. In 2001, a parliamentary commission admitted Belgium's moral responsibility in these crimes and in June 2022, the Belgian government officially returned Lumumba's tooth to his children. A key stage in Belgian post-colonial history. This film follows the highly political celebrations of the return of Lumumba's tooth to Congo and questions the legacy of one of the great political leaders of decolonization.
- A boy, nicknamed Lumumba after a famous African freedom fighter, arrives in a sleepy little Estonian town. His guardian aunt has taken a position there as cultural coordinator. At school he meets Elsa and Rein, who lost his mother recently, and together they go through the first emotional blast of adolescence.
