White King, Red Rubber, Black Death
Documentary, 2004, 92 min.
Leopold ll, King of Belgium, wanted a private colony and got it! The international powers gave him the Congo Free State. For a long time the world considered him to be a philanthropist who brought civilisation to the poor African blacks. The truth was different, cruel and shocking. This is the story of a man who was a visionary and a genius but who used his talents exclusively for his own success: a man who used every single means at his diposal to gain wealth, no matter what the cost! "Let them judge me when I'm dead" was one of his sayings. This is exactly what this film will do.
