The Modern Film Club - Soundtrack to a Coup D'Etat

  • Art'otel London Hoxten 1-3 Rivington Street London, England, EC2A 3DT United Kingdom (map)

Jazz and decolonisation are entwined in this historical rollercoaster that rewrites the Cold War episode that led musicians Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach to crash the U.N security council in protest against the murder of Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba.

Crackling with energy and verve, this masterful film takes history and creates an audacious musical documentary. Winner of the Sundance Film Festival World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Cinematic Innovation. Modern Films works with rising and established filmmakers to bring innovative global stories to local audiences.

The Modern Film Club screens films and creates an in-conversation with cultural commentators who are seeing the film for the first time. Come and be part of the conversation.
