King Leopold's Ghost(2006)
The unbelievable story of Congo's brutal history with its Belgian colonizers
Synopsis
The modern history of the Congo, the heart of Africa, is a terrifying tale of appalling brutality: how the greedy and incredibly ruthless King Leopold II of Belgium (1935-1909) turned a vast country into his private estate (1885-1908) and how he plundered the land and raped the bodies and souls of its defenceless inhabitants, causing countless victims; and what exactly is the true impact of this often forgotten story of crime and horror today.
Directed by Pippa Scott, Oreet Rees
