Jazz and decolonization are intertwined in this historical rollercoaster that rewrites the Cold War episode that led musicians Abby Lincoln and Max Roach to storm the UN Security Council in protest of the assassination of Patrice Lumumba. I saw this at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. I understand the main goals and the importance of what the documentary is trying to explore and tell. While there are some wonderful presentations with graphic design, conversations, and visual presentations, the 2 hour and 30 minute runtime feels unjustified and the documentary structure feels confusing. Many of the topics explored are interesting, such as jazz, decolonization, and conflicts between countries. I liked some of the musical sound choices and some of the discussions explored. But I found myself unable to fully invest in the story because I felt like the director was creating a style rather than a situation of substance. Where some aspects felt raw and a bit lacking and it was too focused on the technical aspects. At 2 hours and 30 minutes the documentary feels too stretched out to be fully satisfying. Overall, well-intentioned, but not for me.
