A group of us at King's are fundraising for the charity Maji Mazuri, a project based in Kenya and supported by Cambridge alumni. The charity works in a variety of projects, from education, to microfinancing, to computer skills, to farming. And we're hoping to head over there in July! This film night is just one of the ways we are raising money, and we would appreciate your support :)

Lumumba, directed by Raoul Peck.
'The true story of the rise to power and brutal assassination of the formerly vilified and later redeemed leader of the independent Congo, Patrice Lumumba. Using newly discovered historical evidence, Haitian-born and later Congo-raised writer and director Raoul Peck renders an emotional and tautly woven account of the mail clerk and beer salesman with a flair for oratory and an uncompromising belief in the capacity of his homeland to build a prosperous nation independent of its former Belgium overlords. Lumumba emerges here as the heroic sacrificial lamb dubiously portrayed by the international media and led to slaughter by commercial and political interests in Belgium, the United States, the international community, and Lumumba's own administration; a true story of political intrigue and murder where political entities, captains of commerce, and the military dovetail in their quest for economic and political hegemony.'
