The “Sound Track of a Coup d ‘Etat”  was the winner of the 2024 World Cinema Documentary  Special Jury Award at Sundance Film Festival.  It is nominated for an Oscar for best documentary film of 2024.  The film chronicles how unbeknownest to the leading  black  jazz musicians of the fifties, they were employed by the CIA as U.S. ambassadors to newly formed African nations.  Simultaneously, the CIA plotted with Belgium to assinate the first duly elected President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Patrice Lumumba.  The assination  led to civil wars and genocide that lasted for decades.  This a great historical movie with film footage never shown anywhere before.  Admission is free and will take place at the Davis Friends Meeting at 345 L Street, Davis.
