Kongo : De tijd der illusies

In 1908, crushed by criticism, Leopold II cedes the Independent State of Congo to Belgium. In this second episode, the newly created Belgian Congo witnesses and observes the clash of ideals that takes place before its eyes... between a white community full of certainty and convinced of doing the right thing, on the one hand, and a black community torn between mixing and self-determination on the other.
