Dokumentarfilmperle – „Soundtrack für einen Staatsstreich“ (2024)
Es beginnt mit einer Jazznummer. Kein Vorspann, kein erklärender Off-Kommentar. Stattdessen: Trommeln, Bläser, flackernde Schwarzweißbilder – und plötzlich sind wir mittendrin im Jahr 1960. In Kongo. Afrika im Kalten Krieg. In einem Netz aus kolonialer Gier, geopolitischer Intrige und kultureller Täuschung. Ein fantastisch gemachter und unbedingt sehenswerter Dokumentarfilm! (ARTE)

Everything now is about noise – who can shout the loudest, who can be the most brash, who can run the sleaziest attack ads on TV. Then you encounter someone like Dag Hammarskjold, who championed the UN’s meditation room of quiet, and it reminds you how impactful that kind of stillness and gentleness can be.
