Season 2 Episode 8: Independence Immediate part 1

In this Episode we turn to The Congo in the late 1950s.  
The world is changing and on the African continent independence is
coming to many countries as the age of colonialism comes to an
end.  In this context old identities are rediscovered as
pre-colonial empires come to the fore once again.  People
coalesce around parties in anticipation of local elections that
have come to mean so much more.  As old friends are discovered
so are old enemies and Belgium considers its options as The World,
and The Belgian Congo changes around it.
