Congo: White King, Red Rubber, Black Death (2003)
Directed by Peter Bate
Documentary, History, TV Movie · 1h 24m
This true, astonishing story describes how King Leopold II of Belgium turned Congo into its private colony between 1885 and 1908. Under his control, Congo became a gulag labor camp of shocking brutality. Leopold posed as the protector of Africans fleeing Arab slave-traders but, in reality, he carved out an empire based on terror to harvest rubber.
