Congo’s Dark Secret: The Ruthless King Who Stole a Country

Details

Description

In the late 19th century, King Leopold II of Belgium pulled off one of history’s most shocking and brutal power grabs — seizing the Congo as his personal colony. Behind his false promises of “civilization” and “progress” lay a reign of terror that left millions dead.

This documentary uncovers the hidden history of the Congo Free State:
• How Leopold tricked the world at the Berlin Conference.
• The brutal rubber trade and impossible quotas.
• The horrors of the Force Publique — from mutilations to mass killings.
• The courageous whistleblowers who exposed the truth.
• How this dark past still echoes in Congo today.

Through historical records, eyewitness accounts, and rarely discussed details, we reveal the full story of a genocide the world tried to forget.

📌 Watch until the end to understand how colonial greed shaped modern Africa — and why this history matters now more than ever.
