Spectres plot

This documentary follows Jacques Brassinne de La Buissière, a now 82-year-old French-speaking Belgian who was a senior civil servant when Congolese Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba was assassinated in 1961. Brassinne has personally investigated the truth in this murder case for thirty years. With his gossamer psychological portrait, Augustijnen shows how the friction between personal involvement and objective historiography, between fact and fiction, truth and conviction, completely obscures the question of guilt that arises.
