| Summary |
Fifty years ago, during the independence ceremony of the largest African colony, the Congo, a young man stole the sword of the Belgium king, thus symbolically claiming the power. The event was caught on camera by German photographer Robert Lebeck. Fifty years on, a film crew traverses the Congo in search of the sword and the man who stole it. Their quest leads them to the heart of the rainforest. This is a compelling and true whodunit that digs into African religion and the heritage of colonisation.
