Where Jazz & Espionage Collide Oscar Nominated Soundtrack To A Coup D'Etat director Johan Grimonprez
Update: 2025-02-04
Description
A sensation when it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, SOUNDTRACK TO A COUP D’ETAT is where jazz and world politics collide. Cultural icons like Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Maya Angelou, Max Roach, Nina Simone, and Walt Disney get entwined in a forgotten episode of the Cold War. This story of the undermining of African self determination feels like a John Le Carre spy thriller. But sadly, it's all true. And that action from the early 1960's is still being felt today, as we see a country again racked by violence and instability. From filmmaker Johan Grimonprez, this audacious film, SOUNDTRACK TO A COUP D’ETAT is now nominated for an Oscar Award for Best Documentary. Join us as we welcome Johan Grimonprez on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, starting now. @kinolorber @laemmle @InsidetheArthouse #movie #arthouse @laemmle @InsidetheArthouse @inside_Arthouse www.facebook.com/insidethearthouse
