The revolution that toppled philosopher-President Nkrumah
Lumumba’s Africa focuses on the past and current issues affecting the African continent; Filmed amidst the beautiful landscapes of Kenya and hosted by Professor P.L.O. Lumumba, the show looks at the many dichotomies of Africa: why are some of the economies thriving while others stall; why conflicts emerge and refuse to die down, and why despite colonialism being ‘gone’, it still ruins the prosperity of nations.
