Arcueil

Jazz, politics, and decolonization collide in this gripping documentary about the 1961 CIA-backed coup in Congo. When civil rights activists Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach stormed the UN to protest Patrice Lumumba's assassination, Louis Armstrong was sent as a jazz ambassador to divert attention. The screening is followed by a discussion with historian Elisabeth Dikizeko.
