Brief aan de Koning plot

It seems small, it is not more than a tooth. But all that remains of Congo's first democratically elected Prime Minister, Patrice Lumumba, was assassinated in 1961. His tooth became a symbol of the painful decolonization of the Congo, and even in a broader sense that of the African continent. In this documentary, filmmaker Maren Merckx and Lumumba's daughter reconstruct the long road traveled by the tooth.
