Amos Interviews Patrice Lumumba — Today with Amos, Episode 1

Amos interviews Patrice Lumumba, the first Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This is a dramatized interview: Lumumba's voice is a synthetic portrayal, not the real man and not a clone of his voice. His answers are drawn from his documented words and the historical record — the June 30, 1960 independence speech, his letter to his wife Pauline, and the findings of the Belgian parliamentary inquiry and the U.S. Senate Church Committee.
