10. Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat - Zurich Film Festival
The documentary explores the decolonisation of the Congo in the 1960s, a key battleground of the Cold War between the USA and the USSR.
The documentary explores the decolonisation of the Congo in the 1960s, a key battleground of the Cold War between the USA and the USSR, and the role that Black jazz music played during this period. The CIA sent musicians like Louis Armstrong as ambassadors of love to the African country to soothe the divided population. This initiative sparked heated debates at the UN, which are also a focus of the film. A film about the connection between music, politics and history, with meticulously researched archival footage.

Nothing less than a masterfully structured film essay, filmmaker and multimedia artist Johan Grimonprez’s (Double Take) new documentary is an explosive cocktail of geopolitics, jazz music, cold-war intrigues, and colonization practices, having Congo and the murder of Patrice Lumumba, its first democratically elected prime minister, as its backdrop. Both exhaustingly detailed in its research and data, and absolutely ingenious and free in its format, the film follows Lumumba’s rise to power and the colonialists’ resistance to releasing control of the country into the hands of its citizens. Simultaneously, the film chronicles the USA’s attempt to influence the country through dispatched jazz musicians such as Nina Simone, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong who found themselves in the country in order to play music, ignorant to the fact that they were nothing more than a diversion for CIA’s machinations. The outcome is a film vibrating with music and cinematic energy while embodying an intense political “J’accuse” towards the ghosts of colonization that still refuse to be put down.
