Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
Drawing on the death of Congolese nationalist Patrice Lumumba, this is a fable about a Christlike revolutionary in an unnamed postcolonial African country. The charismatic leader of a nonviolent movement (Woody Strode) is tortured by the brutal military regime.
