FREE FORUM 2026: Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat

A 2024 Oscar-nominated documentary essay film exploring the collision of African politics and American jazz in 1960, when jazz musicians and U.S. diplomats became entangled in Cold War geopolitics surrounding Congo's independence and the CIA-backed coup that led to Patrice Lumumba's assassination.
