Kinderen van de Kolonie plot

In 1960 Congo became independent after a short political struggle. For Belgium it was the end of more than seventy-five years of presence in the Central African country. In this series, twenty witnesses look back on that period and on the way in which the colonial legacy determined their lives. The Congolese voice is given extensive coverage, always with attention to the relevance today.

Gripping series in which ex-colonized and ex-settlers tell their stories. A black page in Congolese and Belgian history that continues to this day. Very different from the stuff I was (not) told at school. The facts are what they are, and from a Belgian point of view it is anything but proud of the myth-building promoted during and after colonization. It's great about this series that both sides of the story are discussed so that the viewer can form his own opinion. A kind of mature journalism, although it took several decades before it could get to that point.

Especially in light of the current debates about decolonization and the changing society in general, this series is a must see. Currently available at VRT NU.

Excellent documentary with many testimonies, archive images, shocking revelations and a powerful overview of what our former colony was and still is.

What a humiliation it must have been for King Baudouin. I can't remember when it was revealed in the press...

Very different from the time when we were told that we could make the little black ones happy with the "silver paper" from the chocolate bars.

Indeed, this film is a must.
