Lumumba

Raoul Peck had already made a film about Lumumba in 1992: the documentary Lumumba: Death of a Prophet (1991).

When Lumumba arrives at Brussels airport for a round table conference, an Airbus A300 and Lockheed C-141 Starlifter can clearly be seen. Both of these aircraft had not yet entered into service and flown at the time the event took place in 1960. Airbus A300 made its first flight on 28 October 1972, twelve years later; and Lockheed C-141 Starlifter made its first flight on 17 December 1963, three years after the conference.

Frank Carlucci, who was second secretary at the U.S. embassy in the Congo at the time of Lumumba's assassination, is portrayed in one scene discussing the murder with U.S. Ambassador Clare Timberlake and several Belgian and Congolese officials. Carlucci threatened to sue U.S. distributor Zeitgeist Films if his name was not removed from the movie. Zeitgeist was too small to fight any potential lawsuit, so all non-theatrical U.S. releases of the film (including the version shown on HBO and potential VHS and DVD releases) have Carlucci's name bleeped from the dialogue and masked in the closing credits.
