CERI-Cinéclub: Soundtrack to a Coup d'État

Saint-Germain-des-Prés

When Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach stormed the UN in 1961, jazz became a weapon against empire. This rare documentary traces how musicians fought colonialism while Louis Armstrong was deployed as a diplomatic distraction. Stick around for the post-film chat with a CERI researcher: the conversation is half the point.
